Mayor^s Message^
CleveItAnd, April 1 8, 1898.
To ike Honorable Council:
Genti^emen. — It is wisely provided that at least once a year
a statement shall be made to you and through you to the public
reciting the condition of our municipality, its departments and
institutions, and communicating such plans and recommenda-
tions as may be formulated by the executive branch of the City
Government for your future consideration and the mutual ad-
vantage of your various constituencies. The city is a business
corporation in which every taxpayer is a stockholder, each
sharing alike the privileges of citizenship and having a like voice,
regardless of wealth or distinction, in directing the general man-
agement of affairs. Only when this broad view is taken can any
city administration accomplish proper results, and only on this
basis can all the people receive that to which they are justly
entitled.
The past year has been one of substantial progress for Cleve-
land. No city in the United States, I believe, can show a better
record for industrial and commercial growth, for interior improve-
ments or for the rapid accumulation of civic strength. Cleveland
has been favored with a revival in business which has benefited
alike the manufacturers, the merchants and the toilers. The
health of the people has been good, statistics showing a marked
decrease in the mortality lists. Our population has steadily
increased until there can be no doubt that this city is the metrop-
olis of Ohio, and is fast approaching in importance and greatness
the first cities of the land.
The attention of the City Administration during the year
has been directed largely tp the pushing of work on the important
X MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
municipal enterprises started by it early in its career, among^
which are the widening and deepening of the Cuyahoga river
and improvements on the lake front, the building of the new east
side water tunnel, the construction of the intercepting and Wal-
worth Run sewers, the provision of a sanitary system of garbage
disposal, the building of the Willson avenue viaduct and the
Willow street bridge and other notable undertakings, all of which
have for many years been agitated by the people and urgently
demanded for the good of the city. The securing of legislation
and the laying of plans for the commencement of work on a new
City Hall is an accomplishment now assured as the result of
patriotic assistance rendered the Administration by all public-
spirited citizens. All of these subjects are, however, considered
in detail in their proper order.
In concluding the work of the year, I would be ungrateful
did I not express my thanks to the retiring members of the Coun-
cil for the assistance they have rendered in the conduct of city
business. It is my hope that the Administration during the
coming year may merit and receive the friendship and aid of the
new Council in promoting such measures as will be for the
interest of the people and the continued and permanent advance-
ment of our municipality.
PUBLIC FRANCHISES.
In my message, one year ago, special prominence was given
to the subject of franchises, and as this continues to be the most
vital of all the pending municipal issues, I will again give it the
precedence which I believe it deserves. During the year the
situation has materially improved in so far as the danger of the
granting of a long-term franchise to the street railway companies
is concerned, this improvement having been brought about by
the repeal of the vicious Rogers* fitty-year franchise law at Colum-
bus at the outset of the present session of the Legislature. The
hearty support of the administration was given to the movement
to wipe this law from the statute books, and it was done with
unanimity, to the great satisfaction of the residents of Cleveland
whose interests were directly affected. No attempt to re-enact
the law or any similar measure has been made, so that it is
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xi
effectually killed. Had it not been for the vigorous opposition
of the administration and the public generally to the application
of this law to Cleveland, in other words, had the street railroads
been given their way, this city would in all probability be now
bound by a fifty-year mortgage of its public streets as is our
sister dty of Cincinnati.
To obtain from the street railroad and other corporations a
just return for the valuable privileges granted is, without ques-
tion, the unanimous desire of the masses of the people. This
was the most important question the retiring Council had to con-
sider and will probably be the most important to come before the
Council which has just been seated. Corporations are naturally
anxious to hold fast all they have received, no matter how freely
it has come, and to reach out for all they can get regardless of pop-
ular rights. Every effort to oppose this policy is met with all the
power which they are capable of wielding. This fact was clearly
demonstrated during the last year in what was the most remark-
able campaign ever waged in this city for lower street car fares.
Believing that the people were entitled to better arrangements
with the street railroad companies than now exist, such belief
being founded upon reservations made in the original grants to
the companies which gave the dty the right to reduce fares, an'
ordinance was introduced in the Council last August to lower
the rate of fare on the Woodland avenue line, the intention be-
ing to follow this with other ordinances under similar reserva-
tions. The ordinance provided originally that the cash fare
should be four cents, except between 5 and 8 o'clock in the
morning, and 4:30 and 7 o'clock in the evening when it should
be three cents. The companies, by the terms of the ordinance,
were to sell eight tickets for twenty-five cents between 5 and 8
o'clock in the morning and 4:30 and 7 o'dock in the evening,
and six tickets for twenty-five cents at other times. A substi-
tute ordinance, was, however, drawn to comply with the ruling
of the Law Department that different rates of fare could not be
legally fixed under existing grants for different hours, and this
substitute was pronounced legal. It provided for a four cent
cash fare and the sale of seven tickets for twenty-five cents.
Great public interest was manifested in the progress of the
measure, meetings being held nightly in various parts of the
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xiii
city. While the ordinance was pending, a committee was ap-
pointed by the Council to investigate the books of the Cleveland
City Railway Company, and having done so to make a report.
A joint committee of the Council and Board of Coqtrol was also
constituted to consider the ordinance, and held -numerous meet-
ings attended by representatives of the railway companies.
Owing to the reported disposition of the companies to compro-
mise with the city and yield a just return for its privileges, a .
special committee consisting of the Mayor, Director of Law,
Director of Accounts and three members of the Council was ap-
pointed to receive propositions. It was soon found that no con-
cessions would be made by tbe companies on any basis except
that of a new franchise covering all lines for twenty-five years
from date. The report of the committee's deliberations with
certain correspondence relating thereto was made to the Council
on October 4, 1897, when a voti^ was finally taken on the ordi-
nance. Notwithstanding the public demand for the passage of
the measure it was lost by a tie vote. An effort was made to re-
consider the vote at a subsequent session and again on October
18, but those efforts likewise failed by a tie votCj tbe reasons for
which were apparent to all.
The city was then put on the defensive by the introduction
of a most iniquitous ordinance late in October, providing for the
granting of a twenty-five-year franchise, the companies to sell six
tickets for twenty-five cents and pay a percentage of gross
receipts into the City Treasury, namely, three per cent, for the
first eight years, four per cent, for the eight years following, and
five per cent, for the concluding nine years, the city, however, to
relieve the companies from all paving obligations. So great was
the opposition among the people to the passage of this ordinance
that it was withdrawn and referred on December 13, 1897, ^^ 21
Commission to be composed of representatives from the Chamber
of Commerce, the City Government and the street railways. The
Chamber of Commerce and City Government appointed their
representatives, but the street railways refused to co-operate. A
second low-fare ordinance was introduced in the Council on No-
vember 8, 1897, relating to the Euclid avenue and Cedar avenue
lines, but action on this was also delayed pending the outcome of
the joint committee's investigation.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xv
There seems to be no valid reason why the city should not
test its rights under existing franchises, which are subject to the
State law, and thus settle the question once for all whether
the companies are absolute in their control of affairs or whether
the people's rights shall not prevail. I trust that steps will again
be taken at the proper time to do this, believing that the people
are looking to the present Council, which was elected mainly on
this issne, for better results than have heretofore been obtained.
There should not, in my judgment, be granted any extension or
renewal of the present franchises until the expiration of the
shortest one in 1904. Then, if renewed, all should expire at the
same time. The reasons for this are many and have been clearly
exploited heretofore. As for the policy of the Administration
during the coming year it is perhaps only necessary to say that
it will be the policy which has always been maintained, namely,
that no new franchise shall be granted by the city without an
adequate return, and that each citizen shall be accorded every
benefit obtainable under those now existing. In the latter con-
nection I believe the companies should be compelled to run suffi-
cient cars to provide seats for each passenger and abolish the
pemicioQS custom of overcrowding.
In the four years which this subject has been under my
special thought and observation,* I have concluded that it would
be well for the Council to consider whether the time has not
come when the city should prepare to own the roadbed and
tracks in its streets and lease the use of the same to the bidder
which will give the most for the privilege and render the best
service. Many cities are now considering this question, realizing
that franchises are among the most valuable rights any city can
possess, and that if properly handled for the general welfare, in-
stead of the private enrichment of the few, a great deal of benefit
may accrue to every citizen. If thus put up at public auction
and sold to the highest competitive bidder, .the franchises of the
City of Cleveland, instead of bringing $6,600 by way of car
licenses as now, would undoubtedly yield over a million dollars
annually, to say nothing of the advantage ot lower fares and the
marked reduction in the general tax rate which this income
would allo'W.
xvr MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
Although the street raih-oad companies have complied quite
generally with the demand that their cars be equipped with ves-
tibules for the protection of motormen and gripmen, it was found
in February that some cars were still running without such
equipment. These cases were investigated and reports were
made to the Prosecuting Attorney of the County with a view to
securing indictments against the companies, should the law not
be immediately complied with. The procedure had the desired
effect, the cars having been equipped with vestibules at once so
that now the vestibuling of cars may be said to be entirely
complete.
The recognized wisdom of establishing a comprehensive and
complete underground conduit system for police, fire alarm,
telegraph and telephone wires leads me to advise that steps be
taken at once for the construction of such system by the city to
be owned b}' it, and space therein to be leased at fixed rentals
to the Companies desiring to share its use. It is necessary that
this matter should receive attention without delay if it is to be
properly handled. Practically all of the wires in the down-town
di.strict are now underground, and as the city grows and expands
the need of an adequate conduit system becomes more and more
apparent. In addition, I believe the city can and should receive
a return from this class of corporations for use of the streets as
well as from the surface railroads.
THE LAKE FRONT CASES.
In order to terminate, if possible, the long-standing dispute
between the city and various railroad corporations over the
ownership and control of a portion of the lake front, the admin-
istration early in August decided upon a plan which was sub-
mitted to your Honorable Body in a special message, in which
you concurred, providing for the appointment of a special legal
Commission, consisting of Judge George L. Phillips and Hon.
James Lawrence to co-operate with the Law Department and
proceed with the settlement of the differences, and forever es-
tablish the rightful ownership of the lake front property. These
attorneys at once entered upon the duties assigned them and
have made monthly reports to the Council indicating the pro-
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xvii
gress made. After careful deliberation it was decided to take up
the case involving the tract of land constituting a part of Bath
street and lying east of the Cuyahoga river and press it for trial
in the Court of Common Pleas. In the spirit of fairness, how-
ever, counsel for the Pennsylvania Company, the Lake Shore R.
R. Co., the C. C. C. & St. L. R. R. Co., and the Cleveland and
Pittsburgh R. R. Co., defendants, were invited to a conference
to see if an amicable adjustment could be made. The result of
this conference was unsatisfactory and preparations were con-
tinued for a trial of the case. A few days prior to the day set
for the hearing, without notice to the city, the Pennsylvania
Company filed in the United States Court a petition and afii-
davits for the removal of the case to that Court for trial, and
such request was granted, the defendants alleging that because
of prejudice and local influence it could not obtain justice in the
State Courts. An application was made by the City's attorneys
to remand the case to the State Courts, but this was refused, and
it will therefore be necessary to to try the case in the Federal
Courts. Whatever the outcome, it is important that the rights
involved may be settled once for all. It is expected that a de-
cision may be reached within the next few months and this
troublesome question be disposed of.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
The past year has been one of great financial gain to our
city, and it affords the administration no little pleasure to be able
to make so good a report. With a cash balance at the opening of
the current year of $1,988,126.37; with Sinking Funds whose
par value amounts to $2,156,820.90 ; with a net excess of assets
over all liabilities of $28,633,578.60; with all bills paid and no
floating indebtedness or overdrawn accounts, Cleveland is to-day
looked upon from all quarters as an example of a gilt edge muni-
cipality. This fact is clearly shown by the activity which bond
buyers from all over the country have displayed in bidding for
the city's bonds when such have been placed on sale. Cleveland
bonds are four-per-cents, while only a few years ago all bonds
were sold at par with an interest charge of from six to seven per
cent. Cleveland bonds are not * 'payable in gold" as are the bonds
MAYOR*S MESSAGE. xix
of many of the other American cities, but are sustained by the
faith and credit of our city alone. Nevertheless, the premiums
offered upon them have been such as to bring the net rate of
interest to be paid upon them down to 3^ per cent. Particular
notice is called to the fact that while our bonds are selling at
premiums requiring that we pay only 3^ per cent, interest, yet
the depositaries in which the city funds are placed are paying us
3.26 per cent, interest on the average daily cash balances in
bank, and after the first of July next under our contract made in
December, 1897, the interest rate will be 3.37 per cent, on same,
or, in other words, we are earning a greater rate of interest on
the money which the city has on deposit' than the city is required to
pay on the bonds which it has issued. In this respect Cleveland
occupies a unique and gratifying position.
The Auditor's report shows an increase in the Treasury cash
balance at the end of the year of $178,023.44; an increase in the
Sinking Funds of $148,015.84 ; an increase in the total assets of
the city of $2,981,340.09. By way of explanation it may be said
that while bonds and notes for public improvements were issued
to the amount of $2, 1 1 1,960.00, yet at^the same time it has been
the policy of the administration to pay off maturing obligations
instead of refunding them as has been the usual custom hereto-
fore. Old bonds and notes were redeemed and cancelled in 1897
amounting to $786,594.66, so that the excess of assets over all
liabiliries at the close of the year is $28,633,578.60, as formerly
stated, or a net gain during the year of $1,653,430. 75. The issue
of bonds and notes above mentioned were as follows :
For Extension of Water Works Tunnel and Plant, $ 200,000.00
For River Widening 250,000.00
For Intercepting Sewer, Walworth Sewer and other
Main Sewers 498,000.00
For Construction and Re-construction of Bridges. . 244,000,00
For Park Purposes 600,000.00
For Street Improvements, (paving, sewers, etc.). . . 319,960.00
$2,111,960.00
There has been a systematic and persistent cutting down of
expenses in every department and a large increase in the earn-
ings or income of the city, outside of taxes. Notwithstanding
9 1
n ^

the fact that the water works plant has been largely increased,
entailing an additional expense of nearly $15,000 that the in-
crease to the Police Force necessitated an annual additional ex-
pense of $25,000, and that the increase in the annual expense of
maintenance of parks was over $42,000, all of which was neces-
sary, nevertheless this has been fully offset by the lessening of
expenses in other directions. There has been a marked decrease
in the cost of operating the Bridge, Market, Sanitary, House of
Correction and other departments, despite the gradual increase
in population of the city and the consequent increase of demands
made upon these departments, this being clearly indicated by re-
ference to a few of the departments where important reductions
are now permanently established. The House of Correction still
continues to be more than self-supporting, showing a profit for
the year 1897 over and above all expenses of $4,813.81. The
Water Works yielded a net profit of $370,029.92 ; the markets a
profit of $38,231.07, and the cemeteries a profit of $2,591.93.
The amount paid for interest in 1897 (deducting accrued in-
terest received on sale of bonds) was $484,563.91, as against
$476,638.29 in 1896; $528,747.96 in 1895, and $533>255-37 in
1894. In 1898 the interest to be paid will be $468,197.90, or a
smaller amount than for any of the years named, notwithstand-
ing the fact that during the last three years more and greater
public improvements have been made than for twenty years
previous. It will be seen by this that no increase of the tax rate
on account of interest, as has been suggested by some of the op-
ponents of the large public improvements now under way, need
be feared or expected. During the last three years bonds and
notes have been redeemed and paid amounting to $4,264,237.98,
nearly all of which have been bearing 5 and 6 per cent, interest,
and some as high as 7 per cent. The class of bonds which have
been issued during the present administration have been for per-
manent public improvements and are at a low rate of interest and
made payable in from 20 to 30 years, while heretofore bonds
were largely issued for general purposes and at higher rates of
interest. The burden upon the people, as was stated in the last
Annual Message, will not be increased to any appreciable extent
on account of such improvements.
XXII
MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
At this point I desire to contradict certain false statements
made by opponents of these improvements to the effect that the
administration has caused the tax rate to rapidly increase. It is
only necessary to refer to the facts in the case to disprove such
claims. In making the analysis of the present tax rate of $29.30
per $1,000 valuation it should be borne in mind that it is the
composite rate for state, county, school, library and city pur-
poses, and that the administration is concerned only in the levy
for municipal purposes. The comparisons of the municipal levy
show that the tax rate for municipal purposes has been cut down
the past year from $13.75 per $1,000 valuation on the duplicate
in 1897, to $13.60 per $1,000 valuation in 1898. This is the
lowest levy for municipal purposes in 20 years except the rate in
1886 and 1892. In 1886 bonds were issued for paving, while in
1892 no levy was made for paying off any of the bonded indebted-
ness. The increase in the total levy has come from county and
school and library sources. In proof of this the following table
is presented giving a comparison of the levies for the past 18 years :

It will be noticed from the above that the total levy for 1898
is 29.30 as compared with 29.20 last year. While the county levy
has increased $.10 and the school levy $.10 per $1,000 of valua-
tion the city levy has decreased $.10, which kept the net increase
down to $.10. The total tax levy of $29.30 is made up as fol-
lows, based on each $1,000 of valuation: State purposes, $2.84;
MAYOR'S MESSAGE^ atxiir
comity purposes, $4.26; school purposes, $8.10; library purposes,
$.50, or a total of $15.70, and for city purposes, $13.60. The
dty levy of $13.60 per $1,000 of valuation is made up as fol-
lows: General, $.85; bridge, $.32; street, $.89; police, $1.58;
sanitary, $.28; fire, $3.29; dredging, $.10; lighting, $1.55;
street intersections, $.44; interest, $1.10; parks, $1.00; paving,
$.40; general sinking fund, $.85; viaduct sinking fund, $.95.
The assertion that the City Adminisl ration has laid a heavier
burden 0/ taxes upon the people is therefore erroneous, mislead-
ing and unwarranted. If the improvements are carried on in the
same business-like way as has characterized their conduct thus
far, there is no reason why they should cause any increase in the
tax rate, as we are paying off the city's obligations as they become
due^ and are issuing bonds for improvements only as the same
progress.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The era of needed public improvements for the City of Cleve-
land inaugurated by this administration in 1895 has been steadily
advanced, the preceding year having been one of the most import-
ant in our city's history. The conduct of these improvements,
being of such vital importance to the citizens at large and involv-
ing an expenditure of such a large amount of money, was
recently submitted to a representative committee of tax payers
for their investigation. This committee was organized at a
meeting held on January 22, 1898, the following well-known
business men being members: Messrs. Lea McBride, J. W. Con-
ger, Henry W. S. Wood, A. A. Jackson, C. J. Manix, Milton
Morton, Edward Wiebenson, T. W. Hill, John Meckes, L. N.
Weber, Jacob Steinfeld, Wilson M. Day, Julius Feiss, C. W.
Chase, Judge F. E. Dellenbaugh, Col. A. T. VanTassel, Hon.
M. A. Foran, M. G. Watterson, Judge E. J. Blandin and N. A.
Gilbert, Esq.
After some deliberation it was thought best to divide the ex-
amination into two parts and refer the question of river and lake
front improvements and sewer improvements respectively to sep-
arate committees. This was done and after mature deliberation
reports were presented, approving the expenditures made and ac
s

MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxv
counting the results accx»mplished fully commensurate with the
outlay of funds. Recommendations were then made for addi-
tional bond issues to continue these improvements and steps were
forthwith taken in the General Assembly to obtain the necessary
legislation. As the result of the joint efforts of the administra-
tion and these commissions, authority has been granted the city
to issue bonds necessary for carrying on the work so that the
coming season promises to be an exceptionally busy one in ad-
vancing these great enterprises and bringing most of them to
completion. In the following statement an endeavor is made to
outline what has been done up to date in reference to these im-
provements.
LAKE FRONT IMPROVEMENTS.
In recent years the demand for landing places on the Lake
Front both east and west of the Cuyahoga river has been con-
stantly increasing. In order to meet this demand and at the
same time utilize what is considered the greatest natural advant-
age possessed by this city, the administration took this question
up and worked out permanent plans which were approved by the
River and Lake Front Commission and presented to the Council
providing for the elaborate improvement of the eastern portion
referred to. These plans comprised the building of a northern
approach to the bridge across the railroad tracks at Erie street
and the extension of a double pier out into the lake for a distance of
about 1 ,300 feet ; the building af a bridge across the railroad tracks
at the foot of Seneca street, fully half a mile west of Erie street and
the construction of a pier also at this point; the connecting of the
ends of these piers by pile and timber protections built parallel with
the shore line, thus making a vast inclosure to be filled in with
dirt and other refuse material hauled from various parts of the
city in wagons across the bridges and dumped at the water's
edge, the ultimate design being to some day have land which will
be owned by the city extending from the present shotre line north-
ward to where will stand docks with slips between them sufficient
for large vessels to lie alongside. Special progress has been
made during^ the year in advancing these improvements at Erie
street. The twenty-foot pier has been extended into the lake
XXVI MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
along the easterly line of Erie street about 600 feet beyond the
point where work was left oflf last year at a cost of $17,531.96,
and now ends about 1,144 fe^t from shore. The pile and timber
protection has been completed from Erie street westerly to a
point 731 feet west of Erie street; and is designed to protect the
land being made at this point from being washed away and car-
ried out into the harbor. This protection is a requirement of the
government authorities. In the neighborhood of $11,685.00 has
been expended on the work, of which $4,200 was applied to it last
season. It is estimated that not less than 175,000 cubic yards of
earth have been deposited in the lake at the foot of Erie street
already, thus adding nearly four acres of valuable property to
Lake View Park "s\dthout cost to the city, except for labor in
spreading the earth. The entire made land between the future
docks and the present shoreline will approximate 64^ acres, and
may eventually be made into a magnificent park or pleasure
ground. It is the desire to continue the improvements at this
point as rapidly as possible, and to this end special attention will
be given to them during the coming season when an effort will be
made to complete the extension of the pile protection to Seneca
street and build two docks for the landing of excursion boats and
other craft. The outlay of money required for this great under-
taking, while considerable, will, nevertheless, be an investment
which will more than pay the city in the great value of the land
thus acquired for dockage purposes, to say nothing about the
vast acreage which can be utilized for a Lake Front Park.
The building of docks at Willson avenue is another enter-
prise which it is hoped may be taken up during the coming year.
The natural facilities at this point for both freight and passenger
traffic are apparent at a glance and it would no doubt be very
satisfactory if steps should be taken to supply the already press-
ing demand for access to boats by this route.
RIVER WIDENING.
The former cramped and narrow condition of the channel of
the Cuyahoga river within the business district of the city is fast
disappearing. With the aid of the last legislative appropriation
the city has been enabled to prosecute extensive improvements
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxvii
which have added greatly to the city's shipping facilities, and
have placed Cleveland more nearly on a par with its maritime
competitors.
The administration in accordance with its plans regularly
adopted through the River and Lake Front Commission and
approved by the Council, has proceeded to improve the channel
section by section beginning at the river's mouth. It was early
decided that it would be best to provide one large adequate out-
let rather than continue the two smaller ones, this portion of the
river being thronged and wholly overtaxed during the season of
navigation by large ore and lumber vessels some of which pass
through it on their way to the old river docks and others on their
way to the lumber and ore docks farther up, and by the many
passenger and merchant vessels and pleasure boats going to and
fro on their daily trips. In carrying out this project the city has
been aided by land conveyed to it by the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern Railway Company in connection with the railway
bridge transaction at the old river bed. A great deal of time has
been consumed and a large amount of money has been expended
in the acquiring of other property at the mouth of the river
desired for this improvement, but all the parcels except that
owned by the Pennsylvania Company have been obtained by the
city, and all land north of the Pennsylvania Company's section to
the mouth of the river has been presented to the Government
which is now ready to proceed through the Government Engineer,
Col. Jared A. Smith, as soon as an opportunity will allow to
extend the river mouth to twice its present width. The refusal
of the Pennsylvania Company to make terms with the city for
its parcel of land has resulted in much dissatisfaction and already
we have started operations which are now pending in Washington,
which may bring the matter to a successful issue. Extensive
improvements in the old river bed are being made by the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Company, under an agree-
ment with the city whereby the company is permitted to build a
steel bridge and permanently maintain it instead of building a
swing bridge as originally provided in an old ordinance passed by
the Council- An opening his been made for this bridge over the
channel to the lake and the bridge is now nearing completion.
It will be I CO feet long, spanning^ a 60 foot channel for boats and
1 1
Sj
u
H
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxix
a 40 foot passageway for public travel. Furthermore, the company
is constructing a winding place for vessels 350 feet long and 150
feet wide with no expense to the city. The settlement of the
controversy in regard to opening the old river bed into the lake
by having a swing bridge near the lake nets the city $377,000,
and we believe the citizens quite generally approve the plan to
have one wide and adequate mouth to the Cuyahoga river instead
of two shallow and inadequate mouths. In addition to this the
United States Government has already built one new dock on the
east side of the mouth of the river and will build a new dock on
the new west line, and will remove its harbor line some 450 feet
farther up the river, thus saving the city over $2,000.00 annually
for dredging.
During the summer of 1897 the work of removing old docks
and dredging the channel between Main street bridge and the Su-
perior street viaduct was undertaken andcompleted, making the
channel 86 feet wider for a distance of 400 feet, and an average
of 60 feet wider for a distance of 480 feet. This means an average
width of channel of 276 feet in comparison with 180 feet in the
narrowest place as formerly. This section has been provided
with new and improved docks and is now of sufficient width to
allow several of the largest vessels to pass to and fro at one time
in safety, thus relieving the congested condition in a portion of
the channel which has been under public condemnation for many
years, owing to its narrowness, and the danger of accident as
well as the constant delay and annoyance to traffic.
In the upper river new docks have been built and the river
widened and dredged between Seneca and Mahoning streets,
making it an average of 142 feet wide instead of an average of
100 feet. The channel was also projected last year to a point
farther up than ever before, enabling vessels to reach the docks
of the various provision companies, an accomplishment appre-
ciated by all concerned. The entire channel of the river from its
mouth to the Jefferson street bridge on the south was dredged a
foot deeper and from 30 per cent, to 50 per cent, wider in 1897
than ever before, greatly increasing its utility for the passage of
vessels.
The work contemplated for next year comprises the com-
pletion of piers at and near the mouth of the rivet, land for which
SI
U
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxxi
is now practically acquired ; the widening of the river from Cen-
ter street under the Viaduct to the Old River Bed ; the straight-
ening of Collision Bend; the straightening of the channel at
Jefferson street, and other minor improvements in the upper
channel. With these accomplished no further improvements in
the Cuyahoga river will probably be needed for many decades to
come.
INTERCEPTING SEWER SYSTEM.
Marked progress has been made during the last year and a
half in advancing work on the comprehensive intercepting sewer
system recommended for the proper drainage of the city by the
expert sanitar>' commission in 1895. This system is to consist of
a large trunk sewer extending along the entire lake front from
opposite limits of the city, and a central trunk sewer bisecting
the city and connecting with the lake front interceptor, the out-
let for the system being located east of the city and far removed
from the source of the water supply. A portion of this great
conduit known as the West End Interceptor was undertaken early
last summer and completed from Alger street to Lake avenue, a
distance of about a mile. This section is seven and a half feet
in diameter.
It is proposed to complete the construction of the intercept-
ing sewer on the West Side next season by continuing an addi-
tional section west from Alger street to Waverly avenue with a
temporary outlet at Waverly avenue to Lake Erie. We are now
ready to let the contract for the construction of the western
terminus of the interceptor from the intersection of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railway and Lake avenue, west on
Lake avenue to the city limits. This interceptor will receive
the output of a large number of lateral main sewers and will
afford permanent relief to the overcrowded and inadequate sewer
facilities for the entire section of the city west of Waverly avenue,
as well as relieving a considerable section east of said street, in
fact, all of that territory west of Pearl street and north of Lorain
street, giving it permanent and adequate sewer pri\^leges. In
addition to the work contemplated on the West Side for the year
1898, the construction of a portion of the intercepting sewer east
of the river will also be undertaken and completed.
XXXII MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
Land for the terminal works several miles east of the citjr
was acquired last winter, and the construction of the terminal
facilities will be effected soon. The building of- the interceptor
from the city terminal point to Doan street will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, and a lateral main interceptor will be con-
structed in Doan street from St. Clair street south, giving perma-
nent relief to th'e entire eastern and southeastern sections of the
dty. Another section of the east interceptor which it is intended
to build next season is that between Muirson and Water streets.
This portion of the business section of the city has long been in
need of relief, nearly all of the down-town sewers being wholly
inadequate to the demands made upon them. By pushing ta
completion the sections of the intercepting sewer thus referred to
a long stride will have been taken, and at the same time relief
will be afforded, through the construction of lateral sewers, to-
those portions of the city which are now in greatest need of it.
WALWORTH SEWER.
While a portion of the money obtained from the bond isssue
authorized two years ago has been expended on the Western
Interceptor, by far the greatest part has been devoted to the
building of the Walworth street sewer. This sewer is to be
three miles in length and for purposes of convenience in build-
ing has been divided into four sections, three of which are now
under contract and partially completed. Its diameter will vary
from 8 to i6}4 feet, the sewer being designed to take storm water
and sewage from a large part of the West and South Sides, or an.
area nearly one-sixth of the entire city. The foundation and a.
portion of the side walls are of concrete and the remaining parts
of the sewer of brick. It will be interesting to our citizens gen-
erally to inspect this sewer and gain a correct idea of the benefit
it will be to this thickly populated section of the city. The three
sections will be finished, it is confidently expected, by the end of
1898. The cost of the entire improvement was originally esti-
mated at nearly $900,000.00, but bids have been much less and
it is now estimated to cost about $730,000.00. Owing to the
magnitude of this sewer and the great volume of water that it
will at times carry, the specifications call for better and different
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxxiii
material and ^workmanship th^ has ever before been required
on sewer work in this city. A testing laboratory has been opened
in one of tlie rooms connected with the oflSce of the City Engi-
neer for testing all materials used in the work.
DIVERSION OF GIDDINGS BROOK.
One of the most troublesome problems with which the
present administration has had to deal has been the affording of
relief to the residence and business territory contigious to Gid-
dings Brook. Every spring and fall this stream has frequently
overflowed its banks, flooding the neighboring cellars and high-
ways, and menacing the public health in that section of the city
as well as doing great damage to property. Various plans for
doing away with this diflSculty have been considered with the re-
sult that the Engineering Department has decided that the brook
should be diverted into Doan Brook. In order to provide for the
necessary funds, a bill was recently drafted and presented in the
Legislature and passed authorizing a bond issue of $50,000 for
this purpose. It will be the aim of the administration to under-
take and complete the work the present season, thus affording
needed relief to the Cedar avenue. Woodland avenue, Euclid
avenue, Superior street and St. Clair street sewers which are now
taxed beyond their capacity. The cost of the improvement will
be small compared with the increased value of the property
affected as well as the general benefit to a valuable section of our
city.
THE NEW WATER TUNNEL.
Authority was granted the city by the last legislature to build
a new water tunnel in accordance with the recommendation of the
expert sanitary commission for providing a purer supply and giving
insurance against a possible water famine. A site of seven acres
for a new pumping station was obtained at the foot of Coe street
on the East Side, and bids were received for the tunnel to ex-
tend five miles into the Lake from this point. Work was com-
menced on October 10, 1896, and has been advanced at an aver-
age rate of ten feet per day from a shaft over 100 feet deep near
the water's edge. In order to facilitate its construction a tem-
is :
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxxv
porary wooden crib filled vith stone was sunk on May 27, 1897,
at a distance of 11,600 feet from shore, and a. similar crib
likewise located on September 8, 1897. The contract for a steel
inlet crib, which is to form the terminal facilities of the tunnel,
was let in December and the crib is now nearing completion.
The tunnel is 9 feet in diameter and work therein is conducted
under air pressure. It is estimated by the contractor that a year
and a half or two years at the farthest will be required for the
completion of the tunnel. A portion of the expense of this
improvement is being supplied from earnings of the Water
Works Department, and it will not be necessary to ask for any
additional legislation in its behalf. The building of the tunnel
is of great importance to the health of our citizens, and they
would be well repaid for a visit to it, the experience of traveling
far out into the lake being at the same time novel and interest-
ing.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL.
A great deal of attention has been given in recent years to
the provision of a sanitary means of disposing of the garbage
and refuse of Cleveland. The consideration of this problem has
been in the hands of a committee of citizens, consisting of Mr.
J. G..W. Cowles, Mr. J. W. Conger, Dr. W. H. Humiston, Mr.
Kaufman Hays, Mr. Henry W. S. Wood, and Councilmen
Palmer, Stinchcomb and McKenney.
A tour of inspection was made to other cities early in 1897
by a special committee which presented an exhaustive report on
the result of its observations. Bonds were issued under authority
granted by the last Legislature to the amount of $100,000, and
bids were three times received. On the first and second occasions,
all bids were rejected, but bn the third It was decided that the
bid of The Buckeye Refuse and Destruction Company was as
near satisfactory as could be obtained, and this Company will
undertake to carry out a five years' contract with the city. Al-
though the matter was handled very carefully some members of
this Commission, namely. Mr. Cowles and the Mayor, were not
entirely satisfied to permit the letting under the last bid, but it
will doubtless work all right, as the city has the option of owning
the plant at the expiration of the contract in 1903. Although
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxxvii
there has been little mention of the Company's intentions re-
garding their contract, assurances have been given the city that
preparations are under way for beginning active operations, and
that the collection, removal and disposition of garbage under the
contract will be started before the opening of summer.
WILLSON AVENUE VIADUCT AND OTHER BRIDGES.
It is with considerable satisfaction that the Administration
is able to announce the completion .of the viaduct over the Nickle
Plate tracks at Willson avenue, which the city has been attempt-
ing to build for twenty years. This viaduct is a steel and iron
structure 1,100 feet long, extending from Francis to Julia street,
and spanning a valley formerly traversed by thousands of pedes-
trians and teams eadi day. The Nickle Plate Railway Company
was induced to construct the greater portion of this bridge, at a
cost of $90,000. The Cleveland Electric Railway Company also
contributed $10,000 towards the project, this company desiring
to cross the bridge with its tracks.
Some delay in the completion of the bridge was necessitated
by the failure of the contracting companies to obtain structural
material, but this was quickly forgotten in the general feeling of
happiness, when the bridge was formally opened for public travel
on March 3, 1898.
The Willow street bridge, crossing the old river bed a short
distance from its opening into the Cuyahoga river and connecting
what is known as Whisky Island with the mainland, was also
completed during the year. The new bridge replaced a tempor-
ary wooden structure built in 1889 and intended for a few years*
use. The old bridge rested on a center pier near the middle of
the channel and was only 6}^ feet above the surface of the water.
The new bridge rests on a pier located on the north side of the
channel, leaving a clear opening of 138 feet for the passage of
vessels as against 70 feet as formerly. It has a swing span of
295 feet and is operated by two thirty-five horse power motors,
Its cost was $67,000.00 with $26,100 added for the purchase
of land.
During- the coming season it is intended to undertake the
construction of the Willett street viaduct; the Martin Praha

street bridge; the Center street bridge; the Warner Road arch
and culvert; and the reconstruction and repair of other bridges
under the legislative appropriation of $250,000.00 granted at this
session of the General Assembly.
NEW CITY HALL.
After many years of waiting and almost despairing our citi-
zens can soon point, we confidently expect, to a new and modern
City Hall. No city improvement is more urgently needed than
this. The present rented quarters are a disgrace, being illy
fitted for tlie use to which they are put, and at the same time a
source of great expense to the city. When it is understood that
the plan adopted for the erection of the new building will relieve
the taxpayers of any burden on this account the outlook is
doubly gratifying.
Two years ago the people decided by vote to locate a City
Hall on the northeast section of the Public Square, but the mat-
ter was almost immediately taken into Court by injunction suits,,
and finally the repeal of all legislation on the subject was obtained
by the opponents of this site. Since that time negotiations have
been in progress for the securing of another suitable location^
and there is reason to believe that such site may be obtained
\yithout much difficulty. Already the arrangements are made
under existing contracts and ordinances by which bonds issued
for City Hall purposes may be cared for by the application of the
receipts from the Gas Companies to the city.
In order that the entire matter might be carefully consid-
ered and discussed, a Committee on City Hall was recently ap-
pointed by the Mayor consisting of well known business men
who held various meetings for deliberation. This committee
consisted of Messrs, J. W. Conger, Jacob Perkins, Wilson M.
Day, V.C.Taylor, T. W. Hill, W.J. Gleason, Henry W. S.
Wood and Julius Feiss. The committee on February 28, 1898,
unanimously adopted a report setting forth that the present
rented quarters were wholly unfit to meet the demands of today^
and that the unsafe condition of the public records demanded
that immediate steps be taken to secure them against loss by fire
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xxxix
or other cause. It was also shown that the city had paid out for
rents, taxes and repairs from 1874 to the present time over
$1,050,000,
In regard to the ways and means for obtaining a City Hall
the committee advised that the receipts from the Gas Companies
be applied to this purpose, stating that these receipts (provided
equally as good a contract as the existing one could be made with
the Company at the time the present contract expires in 1902)
would be amply sufficient to pay interest and principal on a bond
issue of $1,500,000 if we should at the present time issue that
amount bearing 4 per cent, interest and payable in 20 years. A bill
was drawn in accordance with these conclusions, and was intro-
duced in the General Assembly and passed on April 6, 1898. It
provides for the appointment of a non-partisan commission, which
shall have immediate control of the plans. Now that the way
has been opened for supplying the city with a suitable municipal
bailding, action should be taken at once to complete the steps
necessary for the commencement of work, and every effort will
be made to do this as rapidly as possible.
This is an improvement in which all classes of citizens feel
a justifiable pride, the present City Hall having been an eye-sore
for many years. The scheme of obtaining the funds will, I be-
lieve, also meet with general approval.
THE DEPARTMENTS.
Great care has been exercised by the heads of departments
during the last year to cut down the city's running expenses and
to increase the efficiency in all branches of the public service.
Closer attention has been given by the Directors to these matters
than ever before, as the result of which all of the departments
are enabled to make an exceptional showing. It is due the mem-
bers of the Board of Control that I should express my appre-
ciation for their faithful application to duty and the interest they
have manifested in the general conduct of administrative affairs.
So far as I know matters have proceeded in perfect harmony, and
still better results may be anticipated for the coming year.
The accomplishments in each of the departments are briefly
outlined in the following review, based upon their annual state-
ments.
XL ^ MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
DEPARTMENT OF LAW.
An unusually large* amount of litigation has occupied the
attention of the Law Department during the year. The volume
of the city's legal business is constantly increasing, requiring the
limit of effort on the part of the city's attorneys. The number*
of papers prepared and approved by the Department for the year
ending December 31, 1897, was 1,937 ^s against 1,429 for the
year previous. The number of cases disposed of during the
year was 175, and the number of cases pending in the various
courts January ist, 1896, was 157 as against 148 for January ist,
1897. The record of the Department in handling damage suits
for the interest of the city was fully sustained, the amount re-
ceived by claimants being only $5,363, while the amount sought
to be recovered was $222,938.84,
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The past year has been a very busy one in the Department of
Public Works. Besides the supervising and managing of public
improvements, comprising those on the lake front, river widen-
ing, the intercepting sewer, the Walworth sewer, the new water
tunnel, the Willson avenue viaduct, the Willow street bridge and
other undertakings heretofore referred to, this department has
carried on a vast amount of general city work such as paving,
sewer building, laying water pipe, street cleaning, etc. The most
notable of all these accomplishments, however, has been the
general reduction of contract prices, saving thousands of dollars
to the tax payers. One year ago it w^as thought that the reduc-
tion then announced cq^ld hardly be improved upon, but it is a
pleasure to again call the attention of citizens to still better tables
of comparisons for the year just closed. The prices now being
paid for various kinds of work and material are greatly reduced
over those paid a few years ago, and are in keeping with the
policy announced at the outset of this administration that special
attention would be paid to this feature of the city's expenditures.
In order that a proper idea of these reductions may be gained,
the comparisons which I am about to give have been made to
cover the three years of the present administration as compared
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. . XLi
with the three years preceding it. Although the present admin-
istration came into power in 1895 some of the contracts under
which it operated for that year w^ere made under the preceding
administration. One feature of public work in which the prices
have been noticeably lessened is that of cleaning paved streets.
Formerly the contract was let at so much per mile instead of per
square of 10,000 square feet as at present. The comparisons have
been figured on a basis of 17 squares to the mile, this being as near
as it is possible for the engineers to get at the average squares to
the mile of streets. Following is a statement showing the prices
paid per square of 10,000 square feet for cleaning paved streets
for the three years preceding this administration and the three
years covered by this administration.
CLEANING PAVED STREETS.

Average price of gutter cleaning per square for three years
under contracts made by present Administration, (First District)
$0.53; (Secotid District) $0.61; (Third District) $0.64.
The contract prices for 1898 are astonishingly low, being as
follows: First District — ^Wet cleaning, $0.20 per square; sweep-
ing, $1.00 per square; gutter cleaning, $0.10 per square. Sec-
ond District — Wet cleaning, $0.49 per square; sweeping, $0.87!
I)er square; gutter cleaning, $0.35 per square. Third District —
Wet cleaning, $0.59; sweeping, $0.95; gutter cleaning, $0.42.
CLEANING CATCH BASINS.
Anotlier department of city work in which a great saving
has been rendered the public by the reduction of contract prices
is that of cleaning catch basins, the prices for the last six years
being shown in the following table:
1893 1894 1895 1896 1897 1898
For each catch basin
cleaned $0.81 $0.79 $0.70 $0.60 $0.49 $0.47
Tlie average cost for each catch basin cleaned for the three
years under contracts made by former administrations was $0.77,
while that for the three years under the present administration
was only $0.52.
CAST IRON LAMP POSTS.
The following comparisons are given with reference to the
cost of the cast iron lamp posts purchased by the city:
1893 1894 1895 1896 1897 1898
Each $5.70 $5.92 $5.95 $5.45 $5.02 $4.85
Average cost for three years under contracts made by former
administrations, $5.86.
Average cost for three years under contracts made by pres-
ent administration, $5.10.
ELECTRIC STREET LIGHTING.
The contract for electric street lighting was formerly made
for only 2,300 hours per year, whereas the present Administration
has operated under a schedule of illumination all night and every
night of 3,760 hours. Under the former schedule the cost aver-

aged $88.67, while under the present schedule for the three years
it is given as follows, particular attention being called to the re-
duction of $1.56 per lamp for the year 1898, as compared with
the preceding years:
1896 1897 1898
All night and every night, 3,760 hours, $94 80 $94 80 $93 24
VAPOR STREET LIGHTING.
«
The cost of vapor street lighting has also been greatly less-
ened, the price for 1897 having been the lowest in the city's
history. How these reductions have been gradually made is
shown in the following table:

$18 25 $18 25 $17 95 $13 98
CARE OF GAS STREET LAMPS.
In the care of gas street lamps there has been a steady ham-
mering down of prices, as is shown by the following schedule for
the years named:

MAYOR'S MESSAGE. XLV
CAST IRON WATER PIPE.
An item of great expense to the city is that of cast iron
-water pipe. During 1894 ^^^ 1895 low prices were obtained on
a quantity of pipe purchased at second hand from a Chicago com-
pany. Prior to the year of 1893 ^^^ price was almost $7 per ton
lugher than that for the present year. The average cost of the
three years under this administration, however, is $18.77 P^^ ^^n
for all new pipe as compared with an average of $19.69 for the
years 1893, ^^94 ^^^ iS95» ^^^ ^<>st per year being as follows :
1893 1^94 1^95 1^96 1^97 1898
$23 10 $18 13 $17 85 $19 90 $19 70 $16 73
MEDINA DRESSED BLOCK STONE PAVING.
A notable reduction in the cost of stone paving was made
last year, the price having been cut down to 25.20 cents per
square foot making the average for the last two years 26. 25 cents
as compared with 29.64 cents for the preceding years, the cost
per year being as follows :
1894 1895 1896 1897
Average price per
square foot. .. . 28.50 cts. 30.79 cts. 28.71 cts, 25.20 cts.
Comparisons of the amount of work^done by the department
<iuring the last year are equally interesting. The administration
although handicapped by a discouraging lack of funds has, never-
theless, endeavored to improve the appearance of our streets by
giving special attention to street cleaning. As a result of this
we are able to announce that the department during 1897 cleaned
2,107.4 miles of pavement, making the total amount cleaned for
the three years covered by this administration 3,823.4 miles, as
compared with 1,879.5 ^^^ ^^^ three years previous. Still better
results are expected for this year under the greatly reduced prices,
it being possible under the new contracts to clean the streets in
the down-town district much oftener than under former con-
tracts, and also to increase the number of cleanings for the
outlying districts. This city is still parsimonious wdth funds for
street cleaning purposes, the amount appropriated annually being
XLVi MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
very small in comparisou with that for other cities of its size and
importance. It is to be hoped that a very liberal \dew of this
matter will be taken by the incoming Council as clean streets are
essential to the proper appearance of our municipality. Not only
this but to a large class of our citizens who use bicycles, cleaned
streets are regarded as a positive necessity, as well as the proper
sprinkling of the same, provision for which has been made through
the passage of a law by the present session of the General
Assembly. The street division cleaned and rounded up 842.6
miles of dirt streets for the year 1897, this being fully double ih6
amount cleaned and rounded up annually during former adminis-
trations. The amount of crosswalks laid was 45,231 feet which
was an increase almost as great as that of cleaning and rounding
up streets. Thirty-nine streets were paved or repaved during
the year, making a gain of 8.73 miles and plans were laid for
paving at least fifteen miles of streets in 1898, legislation for
which is all practically completed.
An almost unprecedented amount of sewer building was done
in 1897, t^c amount expended being $402,454.79, and including
work on 79 sewers. This expenditure was 300 per cent, greater
than in 1895, plans for which were laid under the preceding
administration, and 200 per cent, greater than in 1894, the last
year of the former administration. The character of the sewers
and quality of workmanship have been better than ever before.
A large number of the sewers built are located on the West Side,
the administration desiring to fulfill the pledges made to West
Cleveland when that village was annexed.
The management of the Water Works Department has been
unusually successful, the net profits of the division being up-
wards of $365,000. Forty miles of water pipe were laid, making
the total for the three years of this administration 92 J^ miles, as
compared with 66J^ miles for the three years of previous admin-
istrations. There was an addition of 232 fire hydrants; a net
gain of 1 ,8 1 8 water connections ; a net gain of 99 water meters set; a
total average of 48,397,837 gallons of water pumped, showing an
average increase in consumption of 2, 749,496 gallons per day over
the preceding year, or an increase of 4. 74 per cent. The cost of fuel
for pumping a given quantity of water was considerably lessened.
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. XLVir
the average cost of coal being $2.18 for pumping 1,000,000 gal-
lons of water, as against $2.40 in 1896, being a decrease of 11
per cent.
A new engine and boiler house at the Division street pump-
ing station have been completed and contracts awarded for six
water tube boilers which are now under construction. Five tubu-
lar boilers with stokers have been placed in the station during
the year, and a new 20,000,000-gallon pumping engine is now
being constructed in position.
The policy of the administration in extending electric lights
wherever possible has been continued by this Department, the
number of arc lights in use now being i ,000 as compared with
251 for 1895 when the present administration took hold. We
are now happy to say that for the first time in the city's history
substantial signs are placed on every street intersection, this be-
ing a practical and well-appreciated improvement.
DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
The total expenditures of the Police Department during 1897
was $397,922.55, as against $402,161.11 for the previous year.
This was the case notwithstanding an increase in the force of
a Captain, two Lieutenants and 20 additional patrolmen by
authority of the Council on January 5, 1897. This indicates the
careful and economical management of the Department. The
Department made 14,481 arrests in 1897, as compared with ^3A9^
in 1896, which indicates its growing efficiency and strict attention
to duty. The total number of -arrests made during the three
years of the present Administration in bringing offenders against
the law to justice has been 38,978, as compared with 29,836 for
the three preceding years, or an increase of 9,142, which is about
equal to the total number of arrests made in either 1893 or 1894.
Rigid discipline has been maintained in the Department, and
special efforts put forth by the police during the year to enforce
all laws. Unusual attention has been paid to the lessening of
the vice of immorality, the number of arrests on this charge
having been increased nearly 100 per cent. The custom of hold-
ing an annual inspection of the force was introduced last summer
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. xux
with such satisfactory results that it has been decided to hold
another inspection on May 28th, when the Fire Department will
also appear T^'ith the poUce.
I concur in the recommendation of Director Abbott that the
Police Patrol System should be extended to the third and fourth
districts, and that two additional stations should be erected and
equipped; and also that there should be a considerable addition to
the present force of patrolmen, so that the citj- may compare
favorably with other cities of its size, and that health and prop-
erty may be better protected.
HEALTH DIVISION.
According to statistics prepared in the Health OflSce the
death rate of our city has been reduced from 14.71 per 1,000 of
population for 1896 to 14.30 per 1,000 of population for 1897.
This is certainly very gratifying. The patronage of the public
bath houses has shown a marked increase for 1897, ^^ being es-
timated that fully '34,000 persons availed themselves of the privi-
leges at Edgewater bath house, and 20,000 more at the Kirtland
street bath house. The free public baths operated by the city
should be increased and the facilities extended as rapidly as funds
will allow, these resorts being both popular and beneficial to large
numbers of our citizens. An effort was made during the year
by this Departuient to abate the smoke nuisance, but the ordi-
nance under which the city was operating was declared illegal in
the Police Court, and the city is thus handicapped in proceeding
with this reform.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The ability of the Cleveland Fire Department to cope with
great conflagrations has been noticeably demonstrated on several
occasions recently, much to the credit of the Department and its
management. In spite of a number of large fires in the business
section of the city the fire loss for 1897 was kept dowTi to $573,-
054.36 as agrainst $460,842.55 for 1896, and $5i5,i55-5i for 1895.
The discipline and control of the force is excellent, and it is to
be doubted whether any American city can show as efl&cient a
Department considering the number of men employed.
L MAYOR'S MESSAGE.
In December the Director of Fire sent to the Council a com-
munication containing an estimate of the cost of a new and im-
proved fire alarm system, placing the total expense of such system
at $40,000. Unquestionably this improvement should be made
at the earliest possible moment funds can be provided for it.
Also a pipe line should be extended to Euclid avenue east of the
Public Square in order that the fire boats may be used for that
locality, the present pipes extending only to Ontario street. A
new engine house of modem design was completed on Kinsman
street during 1897 and was properly dedicated. It is the desire
of the Department to erect this year a new engine house at the
comer of Croton and Humboldt streets, and to replace the illy-
fitted house at the comer of Abbey and Lorain streets. I would
recommend that the fire limits be extended so as to increase the
territory in keeping with the growth of the city.
The report of the City Electrician shows that the work of
placing wires under ground goes steadily on. Prior to 1895, there
were practically no poles removed and very little aerial wire.
There has been removed from the streets by this administration
during the last three years 500 poles and 5,832,560 feet of aerial
wire, 73,618 feet of subway has been built containing 609,848
feet of ducts. The amount of cable placed under ground during
the same time was 241,943 feet, containing 34,429,791 feet of
wire or 6,520 miles, enough to reach almost twice the distance
from New York to London. During the last year the amount of
aerial wire removed was 1,087,780 feet and the amount of cable
placed under ground was 117,759 feet. The number of poles re-
moved was loi. Few aerial wires or poles are now left in the
territory included in or contiguous to the business district of
the city.
The report of the Building Inspector shows a healthy condi-
tion of that oflSce. The fees collected in 1897 amounted to
$5,854.30, the expenditures $6,322.50; while in 1896 the fees
amounted to $5,469.80, and the expenditures $6,430. 37, the excess
of expenditures over fees in 1897 being only $468.20 as compared
with $960.57 for the previous year. The number of permits
issued in 1897 was 3,504 as against 3,338 in 1896. This ofiice is
now substantially on a self-supporting basis, while formerly con-
siderable appropriations were needed each year to sustain it.
MAYOR'S MESSAGE. Li
DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTS.
This department has maintained its excellent reputation in
the careful and expeditious manner in which it has taken care of
the municipal records and transacted the city's business the past
year. In the disbursing division, 14,870 orders for goods for the
various departments were certified and forwarded, bills for same
examined and approved, and vouchers in payment to the number
of i3»7i5, amounting to $6,877,277.26 duly entered and disburs-
ing warrants issued therefor; 3,286 receiving warrants were
issued accounting for the receipt of $7,203,256.54; 299 contracts
certified; 1,478 resolutions and ordinances certified to the City
Council; 4,552 reports from the departments to the Auditor were
checked and approved; and 1,252 reports of the condition of the
various funds were issued to the Council .and departments.
Tbe tax division prepared 66 estimated assessments for street
pavings and made up tax lists for 404 street improvements on
which the tax assessed amounted to $619,692.54. This work
occupies about 1,100 pages of duplicate, and involved the work-
ing up of over 27,000 pieces of property. One hundred and
forty-three old street improvement funds were closed off the city's
books, on which the surplus tax amounting to $90,961.52 was
refunded to the property owners.
The old city records from 1835 to 1891, have, during the past
year, been taken from the old boxes and barrels in the attic and
basement of the City Hall and have been carefully arranged, filed
and indexed, in a room set apart for that purpose, called the Record
Room, and are now in such condition that any paper or record
can be found in a moment. Heretofore it has been a practical
impossibility to obtain any information contained in these records
except after long search in the dust and dirt of years* accumu-
lation.
The old dockets and records of the Justices of the Peace
have also been arranged in like manner in the same room. These
records and papers are invaluable, being, as they are, the only
documentary evidence of the city's disbursements and transac-
tions for a long period of years. Provisions should be made at
once for fire-proof vault accommodation for them. Scarcely a
week passes but some of these records are needed to prove the
5i

city*s case in court, and a fire in the City Hall would sweep them
all out of existence and prove of inestimable and irreparable loss
to the city.
The books of the Auditor's office were closed for the year
January 3, 1898, with all the city's bills paid in full, and a com-
plete report of the year's transactions, consisting of 146 tables
and covering three hundred* pages of printed matter was ready
January 21, 1898.
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
The management of the Department of Charities and Cor-
rection has been able and satisfactory. Its excellent financial
standing has been sustained, there being left in the hands of the
City Treasurer to the credit of the department at the close of the
year $51,605.51. This is so notwithstanding- the fact that there
is due the Division of Infirmary for the care of indigent insane
patients nearly $70,000.00 for the past quarter of 1896 and all of
1897, the Judge of the Probate Court having refused to sign the
vouchers authorizing the payment of such claims, and also despite
the fact that a special tax of $6,190.50 was placed against the
Infirmary property for the paving of Scranton avenue, and that
an additional expenditure of $5,200 was entailed for the repair of
the breakage in the old brick culvert of Kingsbury Run.
The House of Correction, under the efficient Superintendent,
Mr. Dom, is still self -.sustaining, notwithstanding the decreased
population and consequent lessening of income, and the increased
cost of food supplies. This institution while it is not intended as
a profit making afiFair, nevertheless is enabled from its earnings to
keep its buildings and fixtures in first-class repair and extend the
facilities for the transaction of business. A number of improve-
ments of a sanitary nature have been made at the institution
during the past year. The roof of the main building has been
placed in splendid repair and a large amount of new and improved
machinery has been added. I concur in the movement placed
tinder way by the director to provide a large dining room for the
prisoners rather than to compel them to eat their meals in the
sleeping rooms.
g s
MAYOR*S MESSAGE. LV
At the City Infirmary and Hospital the average daily popu-
lation was 753, the largest in the history of this institution. The
entire i)er capita cost of maintenance and attendance for the year
was $1 15. 12 or a decrease of $1.79 per capita over the year 1896.
The building, furniture and fixtures of the institution were over-
hauled and placed in first-class condition, the interior of the
Infirmary and Hospital being repainted throughout.
During last summer, necessary legislation was passed in the
Council and contracts were let for the construction of the
Children's Hospital which will be ready for occupancy by July
ist, 1898. When completed this building will accommodate 100
children and wall be of great benefit to our city as well as a noble
addition to our charities.
Strict economy has been exercised in the management of the
Out-Door Relief Department by Superintendent Ricksecker.
Rigid inspection into the condition of applicants for relief have
been insisted upon, and where possible the heads of families have
been required to work for their supplies. One result of this was
to rid the books of a number of indolent and worthless characters
who ^vere unwilling to labor for what the^'' received.
Through the efforts of Director Akers arrangements have
been made for establishing a clearing house to which all the or-
ganizations dispensing charity will report the cases and thus pre-
vent the duplication of relief. Over 150 societies and churches
have signified their willingness to co-operate in this movement,
and it is expected that the clearing house will be in operation
very shortly.
In August last I sent to your Honorable Body a communi-
cation advocating the establishment of an institution for the care
of incorrigible youth. There is no doubt that such an institu-
tion as was then recommended should be provided. It has been
suggested that the building be erected upon the land purchased
by the city for the Lorain street cemetery which has been
changed. I sincerely hope that steps will be taken during this
year to bring the matter to a culmination, deeming it essential to
the proper management of juvenile incorrigibles in our city.
A large amount of work has been done during the last few
months in beautifying the burial ground which will be known as
West Park Cenieter3\ This property is admirably adapted for

the purpose to which it is to be applied and when once improved
and opened there can be no question but that the West Side will
possess one of the most beautiful and picturesque cemeteries to
be found anywhere in the country. This cemetery will be form-
ally opened during the coming summer.

In concluding this communication I desire to say that it will
be the aim of the Administration to push as rapidly and as wisely
as possible the big improvements now under way for the benefit
of the city, and to obtain the best results possible from each de-
partment of the public service. In this undertaking we will
expect the co-operation of the Council. Let our municipal
interests always be uppermost in our minds, and whether it be
individual or corporate interests that come in contact with these,
let the municipal rights be jealously protected, and that which
belongs to the people be faithfully preserved. If your Honorable
Body will plan carefully and well, great things can be accom-
plished for the good of the city next year. Cleveland is awakening
out of the lethargy in which it has rested for a quarter of a cen-
tury and is now advancing wnth rapid strides. Let us take up
the questions which pertain to our municipal government and
commercial prosperity in a thoughtful, business-like and earnest
way, and by united work and co-operation push forward to still
higher achievements.
Respectfully submitted,
Afayor.

REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK. ux
Report of the City Clerk.
January 15, 1898.
To the Council :
I submit herewith tables showing in condensed form the
operations of the Legislative Department of the city for the year
1897. Under. the operations of the Council the necessary ways
and means have been granted the executive officers of the city
for the carrying on of the tremendous improvements in our sewer
systems, especially marked in the great Walworth Run inter-
ceptor, now well under way. The money provided for widening
of the Cuyahoga River has resulted in valuable increase in our
dock front and navigation facilities. Work is now contemplated
for extensive improv^ements on the lake front which your honor-
able body will likely be called upon during the present year to
consider. Improvements at Erie street have been extensive, and
the recent additional appropriation of $30,000.00 by the Council
will undoubtedly complete the main dock and pier at that point.
The contentions during the past year over a rational and busi-
nesslike settlement of the street railway question is still in
abeyance, the matter being referred to the Chamber of Commerce,
which body has practically promised to submit for your consid-
eration an ordinance embodying provisions alike just to the
corporations and the city.
The same unsatisfactory condition in regard to city licenses
exists, the Executive Department not having enforced the license
bill passed by the Legislature two years ago. Until this license
Lx REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK.
law is enforced, or some similar measure enacted and put in
operation, unsatisfactory results may be expected. In the two
years since the passage of the license bill the city would have
received probably $300,000 instead of $60,000 had the measure
been made operative by the Executive Department. It is hoped
that a license bill will be enacted this winter and enforced imme-
diately.
The following tables briefly enumerate the transactions of

Annual Report of the City Auditor.
Cleveland, O., January 26, 1898.
To the Han, Robert E, McKisson^ Mayor:
Sir : — As required by law, I herewith submit my annual
report for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 1897, such report
being set forth in tabulated form and arranged as shown in the
following " Table of Contents : "
Your attention is especially called to the following items, viz :
a. During the year the assets of the -city increased to the
extent of $2,981,340.09 (table No. 146); the liabilities increased
$i,32:^,909-34» making a net gain to the city of $1,653, 430-75-
b. ^There is a net increase of Operating Expenses of $82,-
480.81, made up largely as follows (table No. 139) :
Water Works... $14,584 27— Due to increase of plant.
Park 43,685 46— ** •* parks.
Police 24,954 lo— ** " force.
Lighting 10,032 68 — " " lights.
Infirmary 15,261 89 — ** large increase of inhabitants.
On the other hand, there will be noticed a marked decrease
in the Operating Expenses in the Bridge, Market, Sanitary'' and
House of Correction Departments.
c. There is an increase in the Income or earnings (table No.
140) of $103,593.63, in spite of the fact that over $50,000.00, due
and payable from the County of Cuyahoga for care of Insane at
Infirmary, has not as yet been paid.
d. The House of Correction still continues to be more than
self-supporting, showing a profit over and above all expenses of
$4,813.81 (table 87). The Water Works yielded a net profit of
$365,052.92 (table 68); the Market Fund a profit of $38,231.07,
(table 79); and the Cemeterj' Fund a profit of $2,591.93 (table 84).
As soon as West Park Cemetery is ready to open this last item
will increase largely, there being practically no city cemeterj'
lots for sale this past year except in Woodland.
DEPARTMENT OF ACCOUNTS. 3
e. The City Tax lyevy (table No. 142) was cut dawn from
$^3-75 P^r $1,000 on the duplicate in 1896 to $13.60 per $1,000
in 1897. This is the lowest rate of tax levy for city purposes
since 1886, and the lowest rate but one since 1878.
/. Tables Nos. 137 to 146 of this report, giving comparisons
for the last eighteen years of expenses, income, valuations, tax
levies, receipts from various sources, assets and liabilities, should
prove of considerable interest and value.
As to the work performed in the Department of Accounts,
the " disbursing division " has during the year issued 13,715 dis-
bursing warrants and 3,236 receiving warrants; 14,870 Orders
for goods for the various departments have been certified and for-
warded, 299 Contracts certified, 1,478 Resolutions and Ordinances
certified to the City Council ; 4,552 Reports from the Departments
to the Auditor have, been " checked up " and proven ; 1,252 Re-
ports have been issued to the City Council and Departments.
The " tax division'' has prepared 66 " Estimated Assessments'*
for street paving, and has made up tax lists for 404 street im-
provements, on which the tax assessed has amounted to $619,-
692.54. This work occupies about 1,100 pages of Duplicate and
involves the looking up of over 27,000 pieces of property. One
hundred and forty-three old street improvement funds have been
closed off the city's books, on which the surplus tax (amounting
to $90,961.52) was refunded to the property owners.
The old city records from 1835 to 1891 have during the past
year been taken from the old boxes and barrels in the attic and
basement of the City Hall, carefully arranged, filed and indexed
in a room set apart for that purpose, called the " Record Room,"
and are all now in such condition that any paper or record can
be found in a moment. Heretofore it has been a practical im-
possibility to obtain any information of that kind except after
Jong search in dust and dirt of years' accumulation. The old
dockets and records of the Justices of the Peace have also been
arranged in like manner in the same room.
Respectfully submitted.

*By these transfers all Brooklyn street improvement funds were made city funds, and the

tThis transfer was a return of part of the advance made from General Sinking Fund to
"Brooklyn Funds" in 1896 (see Auditor's report for 1896. table No. 122.)
NOTE.— Under the terms and conditions made at the annexation of Brookljrn village to the
city of Cleveland said city of Cleveland took all assets and assumed all liabilities of said
Brooklyn village. Among such liabilities were various overdrawn accounts of street im-
provem'ent funds which it was impossible for the city of Cleveland to carry in that shape,
on account of U6 of the "Depositary Law'* (890. L. 228— 85-0. L. 197}. providing espe-
cially against overdrawn accounts of any description. It was therefore agreed that all
Brooklyn street improvement funds should be held as one city fund to be known as
"Brooklyn Fund" (the total of such funds having a credit cash balance) until such time
as incoming taxes or advances from the city general funds should make good such over
drafts. Such advances were made during the year 1897, and the Brooklyn street improve-
ment funds embraced among the city of Cleveland street improvement funds (see tables

Report of the Director of Public Works.
Office of the Department of Public Works, )
Cleveland, O., January, 1898. j
^ ^^^ Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of Cleveland:
_ ^:^NTLEMEN : — I have the honor to submit the Annual Re-
r>L^ Qf the Department of Public Works for the year ending
^^^ttxTjer 31, 1897.
The work performed by the various Divisions of this Depart-
-pieot has been greater than ever before, which will be seen by
reference to the detailed reports from the heads of the different
Divisions and tables presented herewith.
The following is a partial summary of the more important
pubhc improvements taken up and completed, or partiall}' com-
pleted, by the Department of Public Works during the past year :
Work on the tunnel proper is well under way, 4,507 feet
having been completed during the year from the shore end.
Temporary crib No. i, to be used in the construction of the
new water works tunnel, was completed and sunk on May 27th
at a point about 11,600 feet from shore; and a start has been
made on the tunnel in both directions from this crib. The work
on temporary crib No. 2 was delayed to such an extent that the
contract had to be taken from the contractor and turned over to
his bondsmen. . This crib is now completed and in position about
18,800 feet from the shore end. The steel crib, to be used at
intake of tunnel, was commenced April ist, and it will be com-
pleted early in the summer of 1898.
The water tunnel under the river at Main street has been
completed ; also the new tunnel, made necessary by the river
widening project, at Superior street.
The new engine and boiler houses at the Division street
pumping station have been completed. Contracts have been
awarded for six water tube boilers for this station, which are now
306 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
under construction ; and five new tubular boilers, equipped with
stokers, have been placed in the station during the year. The
new pumping engine is completed, and at the present time is
being placed in position at the pumping station.
There has been a gain of i8 miles of water pipe laid during
the year, making a total of 499 miles and 4,796 feet in present
use. There have been placed 232 fire hydrants, making the
present total 5,712. There has been a net gain of 1,818 connec-
tions to water mains during the year, making a total of 48,207
now in use. Two hundred and forty-six new water meters have
been set and 147 removed during the year, making a net gain of
99 and a total of 2,046 in present use.
There have been 17,658,270,308 gallons of water pumped at
the Division street pumping station, a daily average of 48,379,371
gallons, which shows an average increase in the consumption of
2,749,496 gallons per day over the water used in 1896, or an in-
crease of 5.74 % . The high service pumping station pumped 15%
more water than in the previous year, pumping a daily average
of 2,725,290 gallons.
The net receipts from water collections for the year 1897
were $623,173.22, a gain of $18,899.22.
There has been a marked saving in the cost of fuel for pump-
ing during the year the average cost of coal being $2.18 for
pumping 1,000,000 gallons of water, as against $2.40 for the year
1S96, a decrease of 11%.
There have been issued during the year 5,107 permits for
sewer and water connections.
Considerable effort has been made to prevent the flooding of
the streets by sprinkling carts ; but, owing to the ordinance pro-
viding no penalty for carelessness in this work, it has been ne-
cessary to obtain new regulations covering this important mat-
ter. This ordinance is now in the Council, and will undoubt-
edly be passed so that it will enable the Department to prevent a
continuance of this nuisance.
Seven people have been arrested during the year for doing
plumbing without a license; all of whom were convicted and
fined. It is my intention to rigidly enforce the plumbing ordi-
nance for the better protection of the public and those who live
up to the regulations.
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. 307
The Street Division cleaned and rounded up 842.6 miles of
dirt streets; repaired 16,551 feet of wooden box gutters ; laid and
relaid 45,231 feet of crosswalks ; cleaned 2,107.4 miles of pave-
ment during the year just ended, as against 998.5 miles during
the year 1896.
Thirty-nine streets have been paved and repaved during the
year 1897, a gain of 8.73 miles, making a total of 136.23 miles of
paved streets in the city at the present time.
Fifteen streets were graded and curbed, a total of 2>^ miles
in length. There have been 79 sewers under contract and con-
structed during the year ; upon which there has been expended
$402,454.97. This work includes a start on two sections of the
Walworth Run Sewer, the Intercepting Sewer along the right-of-
way of the L. S. & M. S. Railway, the Lake avenue and Detroit
street sewers and a large number of other important sewers.
The river widening work from Main street to a point 885
feet southerly has been completed ; also on the easterly side of
the river from Seneca to Mahoning street. This important work
should be pushed as fast as possible. There has been 164,296
cubic yards of dredging done during the year, at a cost of
$22,346.43.
Six hundred feet has been added to the length of the pier at
Erie street. Considerable ground has been made west of this
I)oint, opposite Lake View Park, during the past year, being at
present about four acres.
The new bridge at Willow street was completed and opened
for travel on August 17th, at a total cost of $94,032.10.
The high level bridge on Willson avenue, at the crossing of
the N. Y., C. & St. L. Railroad, is nearing its completion.
The bridge over the L. S. & M. S. and the C. & P. Rail-
ways, at Seneca street, was completed early in the year.
The bridge over the Old River Bed, at the L. S. & M. S.
Railway, has been practically completed by the Railway Com-
pany during the year, the whole cost of same being borne by
them.
A thorough inspection of all bridges has been made by com-
petent experts ; and the bridges found in first class condition, ex-
cept for the replanking and repainting of some, a large part of
which has been' done during the year.
308 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
All but one or two of the options for rights of way for the
Martin-Praha and Willett street bridges have been secured, in-
suring an early start on the actual construction of these impor-
tant improvements.
Thirteen streets have been dedicated and accepted by the
City. Grades have been established on 44 streets, an aggregate
length of 9.9 miles.
The City has expended for the lighting of streets in 1897 :
For Gas lamps, $97,818.14; for Vapor lamps, $66,319.25 ; for
Electric lamps, $62,778.20. The number of Electric lamps was
increased 344, an addition of 70% over the preceding year,
There has been a marked decrease in the cost of vapor light-
ing during the year, the cost per lamp being $12.52, as against
$16.23, t^^ preceding year, a saving of $16,546.60.
Four thousand one hundred and ninety street signs have
been ordered, the most of which have been placed in position
upon the streets during the year, and within sixty days a suitable
sign will be placed at every intersection.
Nearly seven miles of conduits have been laid by the differ-
ent telephone, telegraph and electric light companies during the
year, under the supervision of this Department.
The cost of pumping in the Water Works Division is so far
above what it should be, providing the Division street station was
equipped with a modern plant, that I believe it to be to the city's
best interests to immediately proceed to the purchase of another
high duty pump, so that the ordinary needs of the city may be
supplied by modem and economical machinery. I am of the
opinion that with the pump now being placed in position, and
another one of suflScient capacity •to take care of the regular
average consumption, the city could save at least one-half of the
fuel now used, making an annual saving in the item of fuel alone
of over $20,000.00. This, with other reductions consequent upon
the introduction of a new engine, would, in my opinion, pay for
the cost of the same inside of four years. I would therefore
recommend that steps be taken to secure a new engine for the
Division street pumping station at once. This, together with
the necessary pushing forward for the buildings and machinery
for the new pumping station at Coe street (plans for which are
now nearly completed) and the laying of water mains prepara-
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS. 309
tory to connecting the city's system of water service with the
new intake tunnel, and the completion of the permanent crib and
tunnel, will occupy the Water Works Division with an unusual
amount of work for the ensuing year.
I would further recommend that some means be devised
whereby the Department may secure funds for the better care
and repair of our present paved streets. The long neglect in
this very important work has resulted in a very serious loss to
the city. Owing to the fact that no funds are provided for the
repair of these streets, the life of a pavement is shortened from
five to ten years, which, in the end, is a serious matter to the
taxpayer, as he actually pays the amount of this expense many
times over by the renewing of the pavement much sooner than it
should be. If funds cannot be provided from the ordinary city
revenue, I deem this of enough importance to assess a frontage
tax on the streets benefited to the amount necessary to make
these repairs.
Immediate steps should be taken to relieve the conditions
which prevent territory in the vicinity of Giddings Brook, Kings-
bury and Morgan Runs from having proper sewerage. I have
had prepared during the past year, surveys of the valleys of
Kingsbury and Morgan Runs preparatory to going forward with
this work. The diverting of the waters of Giddings Brook, which
have caused so much damage, and the building of the Doan
street sewer, seem to me to be the important projects for the
Division of Sewers for the coming year ; and the necessary legis-
lation should be put through this winter to go forward with this
important work.
The extension of Clark avenue is of sufficient importance
that it should be given careful consideration. This is an im-
provement very much needed, and should be carried out as soon
as some practical plan can be perfected for connecting these two
important sections of our city — the South Side and the South
end (known as Newburgh).
In conclusion I desire to commend to your attention the
very valuable assistance rendered me by Deputy Director W. P.
Chard, the heads of the different Divisions and all the present
employes of the Department of Public Works, to whom very
great credit is due for their conscientious canying out of the
310 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
work entrusted to their care; for which assistance I feel deeply
grateful, as, without it, it would have been impossible to have
carried on the unusually large amount of work thrust upon the
Department during the past year.
I also desire to express my thanks to the Honorable Mayor,
the Honorable City Council and the Board of Control for the
universally courteous treatment and consideration shown to me
in the carrying out of the city's business.
Respectfully submitted,

LAKE CRIB— WEST SIDE TUNNELS. *
An examination was made of the timber walls of this crib
from the floor line down to the water line, and the walls were
found to be in fairly good condition with the exception of the
middle walls where they intersect at the southeast corner. These
were found to be badly decayed, and eleven courses from the
floor line were cut out and rebuilt with new material. The heads
of timber ties in several cases were also found badly decayed on
three sides of the crib. To strengthen the crib at these points
12X12 inch timbers were placed vertically on the inside of middle
walls, and these timbers were connected to the outer wall by
means of tie rods to counteract the tendency of these walls to
spread. Five 12x12 inch timbers were placed vertically on the
inner face of the outside wall and fastened with screw bolts near
southeast corner of crib. In order to do all this work the stone
had to be removed from the pockets of the crib and afterwards
replaced. Heavy iron bands were placed around the masonry
wall surrounding the well of the crib below the floor. Some bolts
in the flanges of the lower ice plates are loose and should be re-
placed at as early a date as possible.
WEST SIDE LAKE TUNNELS.
The supply of water through these tunnels has been unin-
terrupted, and we have had no trouble from anchor ice or any
other cause.
MAIN STREET TUNNEL.
This tunnel was completed March 31, ready for the 48-inch
steel pipe, which was made by the Variety Iron Works. The.
final test of this pipe was made July 8 and was found satisfactory
and ready for acceptance.
gUPERIOR STREET TUNNEL.
The contract for this tunnel and two shafts, made with L.
H. Fahey for $14,650, was approved by the Council August 30,
1897. This tunnel is 8 feet in diameter, and is being built from
a shaft in West River street 170 feet south of Washington street
to a shaft in Superior street near the river, a distance of 575 feet
between centers of shafts.
WATER WORKS. 325
Work was begun f)n the west shaft September 13, 1897.
This shaft and 500 feet of tunnel were completed December 31,
1897. December 13, 1897, work on the east shaft was begun
and about 30 feet of this shaft were sunk December 31. From
present indications this shaft and tunnel will be ready for the
pipe about January 20, 1898. A contract for building and plac-
ing a 48-inch steel riveted pipe in this tunnel was made with the
River Machine and Boiler Co. for $13,316, and was approved by
the Council November 15, 1897.
EAST SIDE LAKE .TUNNELS AND CRIBS.
Temporary crib No. i, located about 11,600 feet from shore
shaft, and which was built by The L. P. & J. A. Smith Co., was
taken out and placed in position in Lake Erie and sunk on May
27, 1897. The crib was held in exact position by five lines, one
from each corner, leading to anchors placed about 300 feet from
the crib. The gates provided for letting the water into the crib
to sink it were opened at 9 A.M., and the crib was resting on the
bottom at 9:45 A.M. The depth of water at this point is about
43 feet.
After the crib had been filled with stone and the rip rap
stone placed around it, elevations of the five corners were taken,
and it was found that the crib was only four inches out of level.
The crib and superstructure were practically completed
August 28 so that the tunnel contractor began work on this day
placing girders across the well to support the iron cylinders of
shaft No. 2, preparatory to sinking them.
CRIB No. 2.
The contract for temporary crib No. 2, which is practically
a duplicate of crib No. i, was made with T. H. Garland for $33,-
592.48 for the crib complete and filled with stone and for furnish-
ing the rip rap stone for $1.97^ per ton.
Work was commenced about March 12, 1897, and on May
27 twelve courses of timber had been completed and the crib was
launched. On Jun^ 18 about sixteen courses were completed,
and on June 20 the crib sank inside the west breakwater. The
sinking of the crib was caused by the loading of stone and not
taking the proper precaution to keep the water out.
326 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Openings had been cut in the sfties of the crib in which
valves were to b^ placed to be used in letting in the water when
the crib was to be taken out and sunk in the lake. The con-
tractor had neglected to put in these gates and had loaded it
down so deep that the water came in through these openings.
In the twenty-four days between the launching and sinking only
four courses had been added to the crib.
Owing to the slow progress and the sinking of the same the
contract was taken away from the contractor and the work given
to the bondsmen to complete. The crib was raised July 25 and
work was resumed the following day. In forty days thirty-nine
courses were added, which was all that was built before the crib
was taken out and sunk in position. On September 8 the crib
was taken out and placed in position, about 7,200 feet westerly
of crib No. i, being held in place by lines and anchors in the
same manner as was done with crib No. i when that was sunk.
The gates for filling the crib with water were opened at 9:30 A. M.
and by 10 A.M. the crib had sunk to the bottom and was then
filled with filling stone and rip rap stone placed around it. It
was then found that the crib was ten inches out of level, The
crib was then leveled up and the remaining courses completed
and the superstructure built, completed, and accepted on Decem-
ber 14, 1897.
STEEL CRIB.
The contract for this crib was approved by the Council De-
cember 21, 1896, and the construction was begun about April i.
The timber bottom and two courses of the steel work were com-
pleted and the crib was launched and towed in behind the west
breakwater on June 16. According to the terms of the contract
the crib should have been completed within six months, or by
October i, 1897, at the latest. Since the launching the work has
been carried on very slowly, and as it was seen that the crib could
not be completed this year, the contractor on November 17
brought the crib into the Pennsylvania Co.'sslip in the Old River
Bed. At the end of the year seven courses of the steel sections
had been assembled, ten of the twelve inlet tubes were all riveted,
the outside shell was all caulked up to the top of the sixth course
and the inside course was caulked up to the top of the fifth course.
WATER WORKS. 327
This leaves three courses to be added and all the bulkhead seams
to be caulked before the crib will be ready to place in position in
Lake Erie. This shows that there is considerable work still to be
done before the crib is ready to take out, and the work should
be pushed with all possible dispatch so that they shall be able
to take it out not later than May i, 1898.
EAST SIDE TUNNEL.
On December 31, 1896, 77 feet of tunnel had been completed
from shaft No. i westerly. On January 4, 1897, after no feet of
tunnel had been completed, a bulkhead was built across the end
of the tunnel and work was stopped in order to remove the air-
lock in shaft No. i and place one in the tunnel, and also to put
an elevator in the shaft. Work was resumed on January 25, and
was then pushed without interruption until 3,764 feet had been
completed. A bulkhead was then built across the end and the
air pressure let out. The airlock was then changed from its first
position about 72 feet west of the shaft to about 3,700 feet west
of the shaft. Work was again resumed on November 8 and on
December 31, 1897, 4,584 feet were completed, making a gain of
4,507 feet in the tunnel built from this one heading during the
year 1897.
EXTENSION OF TUNNEL FROM SHAFT No. 2.
On September 17 the contractor started sinking the cylinders
at shaft No. 2. It was originally planned to sink eight cast iron
cylinders and one steel cylinder, each nine feet long, and build the
lower end of masonry ; but as the clay was found rather soft the
contractor was allowed to put in two more steel cylinders, about
nine feet each, in lieu of brick masonry ; and after placing these
two steel cylinders and sinking the shaft j8 feet further, it was
found necessary to place an air lock in this shaft in order to
coriiplete it. At the end of the year 139 feet of tunnel had been
completed toward the east and bulkhead ed and about 100 feet
were completed toward the west, making in all about 200 feet
completed from this shaft. It is the intention to build about 40
feet more to the west and then let off the air pressure and remove
the airlock from the shaft and put an airlock in each heading
328 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
from the shaft and also place an elevator in the shaft. Their
rate of progress has been about ten feet per day, but as soon as
the airlocks and elevator are in place they will no doubt complete
fifteen feet and may build eighteen feet per day in each heading.
The contractor has placed a boiler and cast iron cylinders
for shaft No. 3 and a quantity of brick and sand on crib No. 2,
ready for the building of the tunnel from the shaft in this crib.
DIVISION STREET PUMPING STATION.
The new engine and boiler house on the foundation erected
by Messrs. Watterson & Clague was built by D. & G. Griese for
the contract price of $21,741. The foundation and superstruc-
ture are practically complete, with the exception of a few minor
details, and is now ready for the reception of the engine and
boilers. The Edward P. AUis Co., who have the contract for
the engine, have laid a temporary track from the Water Works
switch to the engine house door and erected a derrick for the un-
loading of their machinery, and have several carloads of machin-
ery here.
A contract was made with The Ohio Heating Co. for six
Geary water tube boilers of 200 H.-P. each, equipped with the
Brightman mechanical stoker, to be placed in this boiler house,
the contract price being $22,760 and was approved by the Coun-
cil
A contract was also entered into with The Cleveland Steam
Boiler Works for five tubular boilers to be placed in the north
building of this station, in place of three marine boilers which
were removed. The contract price was $3,268, and .was approved
by the Council March 22, 1897. These boilers were equipped
with the Brightman mechanical stoker made by The Brightman
Furnace & Mechanical Stoker Co. The contract for these
stokers and setting complete was $4,762. In order to put
in these boilers the foundation and smoke flue had to be changed,
for which a contract was entered into with Hunkin Bros, for the
sum of $3,566, and approved by the Council March 22, 1897.
All of this work has been completed.
Considerable grading has been done in the south lot of the
Division street pumping station, and 80 feet of retaining wall
WATER WORKS. 329
have been built south of the new building. This wall will be
extended early in the spring, and when the new engine is up and
the new water main laid for this engine the grounds will then be
put in proper shape in front of both buildings. It is also pro-
posed to lay a new sidewalk on the north side of Division street,
in front of the Water Works property, and to pave a roadway in
the south lot leading from Division street around to the south
side of the new boiler house. For a more detailed statement of
the work done at this station see appended report of Mr. Botten,
the Chief Engineer of this station.
FAIRMOUNT PUMPING STATION.
The building and machinery are both in good condition.
The only repair of any note has been the replacing of a cracked
cover on the pump chamber of the west engine, which was re-
placed by a new one. The increased consumption of water in
the High Service district has been such that at two different
periods we have had to pump 24 hours per da}'. This, no doubt,
will keep increasing as the additional territory on the west side
of the river will increase the consumption of the water materially,
and we shall, no doubt, have to put on three shifts of men so as
to be able to pump the full 24 hours.
FAIRMOUNT RESERVOIR.
This reservoir is in good condition, arid we have not been
called upon to make any repairs during the year.
KINSMAN RESERVOIR.
A fence has been built on the north boundary line of the
reservoir grounds. Early in May a slip occurred in the outer
slope at the south end of the west embankment of this reservoir.
During the construction of this reservoir the contractor had a
roadway at this corner, used for hauling earth to the top of the
embankment. This portion of the embankment was probably
more compact than the other portions of the embankment, and,
owing to uneven settlement, it caused a crack, which allowed
storm water to work in and cause a slip, the embankment being
330 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
made wholly of clay. This was repaired by cutting offsets in
the embankment and then retamping the clay back into place,
and also driving long cedar posts nearl}' perpendicular to tbe
slope all along the bank where it showed signs of slipping. No
further repairs were found necessar3^
PIPE EXTENSION.
The total amount of pipe laid during the 3'ear is 19 miles 4,502 feet
Pipe taken out and abandoned during the
year is i mile 4,372 feet
Leaving a net gain of 18 miles 130 feet
There were 148 feet of 48-inch riveted steel pipe laid in
Spruce street crossing Sycamore slip, and 739 feet of 48-incli
riveted steel pipe were laid in Main street tunnel, extending from
West River street to East River street.
We have also laid 4,280. feet of 42-inch pipe in Alabama
street, Hamilton, Main, Spruce and West River streets, closing^
up all gaps in the 42-inch line of pipe, which now extends from
the Division street pumping station to Hamilton and Case
avenues.
We also laid 2,157 feet of 36-inch pipe in Ridge avenue, from
Clark avenue to Berry street.
There were also laid 242 feet of 30-inch steel pipe across the
river in Dennison avenue extension, and 52 feet of 30-inch cast
iron pipe were laid south from the 30 inch steel pipe to connect
to pipe already laid, and 107 feet of 24-inch pipe were laid nortli
from this steel pipe to connect with the 24-inch pipe previously-
laid. This makes a continuous main from the corner of Marcel-
line avenue and Harvard street, through Harvard street and
Dennison avenue to Ridge avenue.
On December 17, we began to turn water on to this line of
pipe,' and will soon be ready to supply the High Service district
of the West Side.
We laid 2,017 ^^^^ ^^ 16-inch pipe in Independence, between
Fleet and Sykora streets, and 2,145 ^^^^ o^ 16-inch pipe were laid
in Pearl vStreet, from Dover to Dennison avenue. The accompa-
nying tables give a detailed report of all pipes laid during the
year 1897.

MISCELLANEOUS.
On August 7th the 36-inch water main in St. Clair street be-
tween Bank and Water streets broke, causing considerable
damage to the pavement and flooded some cellars.
On October 8th another break occurred on the same main
between Wood and Bank streets also causing considerable damage
to pavement.
There have been several breaks in this line in previous
years, and in order to satisfy ourselves whether the cause lay in
the material of the pipe or elsewhere, we had test pieces cut from
the pipe that broke between Wood and Bond streets. These
pieces were tested both for transverse and tensile strength.
336 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The piece that was tested for transverse strength was made
one inch thick, 2 inches wide and 26 inches long and placed on
supports 24 inches apart ; this bar broke under a load of 2,300
pounds with a deflection of .51 inch. The piece tested for ulti-
mate tensile strength broke under a stress of 22,060 pounds per
square inch.
These tests show that the metal in this pipe was better than
required by our specifications, which call for a transverse
strength of not less than 1,900 pounds, and a deflection of not
less than 25-100 inch in a test piece of the size above described
and a tensile strength of not less than 18,000 pounds per square
inch.
A chemical test was also made of this metal by one of the
City's Chemists and pronounced to be of a good quality.
At neither of these breaks could any flaw be found in the
pipe, and they can be accounted for only on the theory that there
has been a gradual settlement in the street being an after efiect
of the construction of a large sewer through this street, and that
this settlement has caused severe strains in the main at different
points until it finally broke.
On December 25th a break occurred in the 24-inch main in
Willson avenue just south of Central avenue. The break was
about 5 or 6 feet long and about 18 inches wide at its widest
part. There was no flaw in this pipe, the shell of the pipe was
of the required thickness, but the metal was found to be quite
hard.
ELECTROLYSIS.
There huve been twenty-four leaks in service connections
during the year caused by electrolysis, two of them on EucUd
avenue near Willson avenue, and twenty-two on Cedar avenue
between Willson avenue and Steams street. There was also one
case found where the main water pipe in Cedar avenue had been
attacked and small holes eaten into it.
There have been several connections made, at different
points in the city, between the street railways' return wires and
rails and our water pipes in order to obviate electrolysis of our
mains and the service connections.
WATER WORKS. 337
The great number of leaks found on one street, and the
attacking of our main in one instance shows that the return cur-
rents in this section especially have not been taken care of prop-
-erly. This is a very serious matter, and should at once be
thoroughly investigated and means found to remedy the matter.
In consulting with the city electrician as to the best method
of procedure he stated that the proper instruments should be
procured and that a complete examination of the pipe system in
various locations be made, in order to determine what should be
done to prevent further trouble from this source and fix the
responsibility therefor.
FUTURE EXTENSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
In order to be ready for the new East Side pumping station
when it shall be completed, it has been decided to lay a 48-inch
main in Coe street, Hamilton street and Case avenue from Lake
street to Central avenue, and a 42-inch main in Case avenue
from Central to Scovill avenue, a distance of about 13,000 feet.
This will make a complete connection with all of the large mains
of the East Side of the city.
Plans are now being made for a new pumping station at
Kirtland street, including engine and boiler houses, to be
equipped with engines and boilers, also aqueducts, pump wells,
sewers, etc.
That portion of the west side of the city lying above 120 feet
elevation will be supplied with water from the high service sys-
tem early this year. This will call for a decided increase in the
pumpage at the Fairmount pumping station, and it may become
necessary to take steps before the end of the year for the erection
of a high service pumping station on the Ridge avenue grounds
purchased for this purpose some years ago.

REPORT OF ENGINEER
OF
PUMPING DEPARTMENT.
WATER WORKS. 341
Kepi of Emiiieer of Pmnpiiig Departnieiit.
To the Superintendent of Cleveland Water Works :
Dear Sir : The Engineer of the West Side Pumping Sta-
tion of the Cleveland Water Works would respectfully submit
the following annual report for the year 1897.
WORTHINGTON ENGINE No. i.
This engine is still held in reserve, it has only pumped a
little over fifty-one million gallons the past year, and it is in
about the same condition that it was a year ago.
The water valve seats are in bad condition, which causes a
large per cent, of the water to rush back every stroke instead of
being forced into the mains, which is quite a loss. The material
to make this change would cost about $1,025. Otherwise this
machine is in working order and ready to start at any time.
WORTHINGTON ENGINE No. 2.
This machine pumped 3,198,215,440 gallons of water the
past year and with very little trouble and expense. When I
wrote the last report this engine was idle on account of the four
new tubular boilers not being finished ; but they were completed
and the engine started January 22nd. August i6th it was
stopped a few hours to do some packing. October i6th it was
stopped to replace a broken pin in an air pump working beam,
and was stopped again on November 1 7th to overhaul the air
pumps and do some other trifling repairs and started on the 26th.
December 24th it forced a discharge valve seat out which was
replaced. This caused it to stop about four hours. This machine
is running every day and doing well.
342 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
WORTHINGTON ENGINE No. 3.
This engine has worked well since the repairs it received
last spring. On March 17th it was stopped to replace two water
valves, and on the 24th it was stopped for a general overhauling.
It received brass water valve seats and stems ; also new valve
weights, new steam valve stems and three foot valves in the air
pumps ; also brass stems and guards in the air pump trunks. It
also received new valves in the 30-inch check valve new diaph-
ragm and valves in the suction pipe.
This work was completed and the engine run a few hours on
May 15th, and on the 22ud it was started for continuous work.
July 6th it was stopped a day to connect its steam pipe to the
new main steam line. October 25th it was stopped two hours to
do some packing and again Nov. 5th to replace two broken trays
in the condenser with new ones and overhaul the air pumps.
This was completed and the engine started on the 17th. Since
that it has continued to run without interruption.
WORTHINGTON HIGH DUTY ENGINE No. 4.
This engine has been in almost constant service for four
years, and it requires considerable attention now to keep it in
running order. It was stopped 15 times during the past year on
account of broken water valves, leaky joints and gland. About
the first of the year we discovered a small crack in each of the
water cylinders, which constantly increased in length. This we
repaired by bolting a cast iron patch over each of them, and
strengthening it with two if-inch bolts, extending from top to
bottom to hold the cracks together, but we did not succeed in
stopping the leak entirely. We have not had any opportunity to
bore the air pump cylinders out and line them with brass, as we
contemplated doing ; but this must be done as soon as convenient,
and some of the lagging should be removed and put up in a
more substantial manner. This machine has pumped 5,662,642,-
480 gallons of water the past year and it is running every day.
KNOWLES ENGINE No. i.
This machine has done well the past year. It was stopped
April 23d to change the steam pipe, to conform with the new
WATER WORKS. 343
main steam line over the boilers ; and on Saturday the 24th at
7:30 p. m. it broke the piston rod of the independent condensing
engine. This was replaced with a new one, and the engine
started Sunday evening. Aside from this it was only stopped
four or five times to do some packing, repair leaky joints and
four times for broken water valves. To make this machine all
right the cast iron water valve seats should be replaced with
brass ones, which would cost about $1,200 for the material to
make this change. This engine is in working order and running
every day.
KNOWLES ENGINE No. 2.
We never had an opportunity to lower this machine as we
contemplated doing. Consequently it has only been used in
emergencies. The water end of this machine received an over-
hauling the past year ; some leaks about the steam chest were
repaired and some packing done. It has only pumped a little
over 746,000,000 gallons the past year; but it is ready to start at
any time that it is wanted.
BOILER FEED PUMPS.
Our feed pumps have made very little trouble or expense the
past year. The Cameron pump received new packing rings in
the steam cylinder and some metal water valves were replaced
with rubber. This was all the work required, aside from the
usual amount of packing. We still hold one Cameron in reserve
. in the basement, and they are all in good working order.
SMOKE PREVENTERS.
We have had no trouble or expense to speak of with the
Murphy or Brightman devices ; but the Playfords and Americans
have made considerable trouble and expense, as the design and
construction of these devices are not calculated for durability.
BOILERS.
We have twenty-six tubular boilers in service at the works
now. Thirteen of these are new, seven are four years and six are
ten years old. The repairs on the old boilers amounted to about
344 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
$350.00 the past year, and I expect we will have to remove the
flues, piece them out and reset them in some of the old boilers
soon. The four new tubular boilers that were being erected in
the north fireroom the first of the year were completed and work-
ing January 22, and on the 27th an evaporative test was made
which proved satisfactory.. March 24 we started to remove the
remaining three marine boilers to make room for five new tubular
boilers, and we had them out in the yard on the evening of April
I, 1897. The excavating was completed and the overhead flue
finished May 22. This enabled us to use the three hand-fired
boilers. On the 27th the five boilers were in place on blocking
and tested ready for the brick work, which was completed and
the boilers fired up July 13, and on October 15 an evaporative
test was made, which proved satisfactory. After using these
boilers about six months the arches began to fall down, which
goes to show that the walls were not built in a proper manner.
I would like to have permission to remove the Playford smoke
preventing device, and replace it with some more practical device
and also to raise the flue at the back of these boilers to the same
elevation as the others. And the north wall of this fireroom
should be moved back about fifteen feet to make more room for
coal. We should have four new boilers on the foundations pre-
pared for them in the south fireroom, as we needed them badly
two or three times last summer when the American stokers were
broken down. Our boilers are all in working order now.
MISCELLANEOUS. '
In the month of February several of the Case School boys
were down here making tests on the different smoke preventing
devices, and March 4 they made a duty trial of the high duty en-
gine. They had permission to do this in order to give them a
little practice in this branch of their studies.
All the main steam and water pipe in connection with the
boilers have been remodeled and put up in first-class shape, and
brick flues at the rear of the boilers have been raised so as to
discharge the gases into the stacks overhead. This affords us a
good location for our water pipe.
In July the old tin roof was replaced with slate on the north
building, the slate repaired on the two wings, the down spouts
WATER WORKS. 346
repaired, and in the fall the south house received two coats of
paint on the outside.
The shop engine and dynamo have made very little trouble
or expense. The friction gear on the line shaft gave out in Octo-
ber. It was repaired and has worked all right since.
In October a new ifence was built across the rear end of the
north lot to give us more room to store spare castings. This is
completed and the fence received one coat of paint.
Last year I spoke of the rails being too light on the sharp
curve coming into the north lot. There has been nothing done
with it and I see now that the fence is moved that a change
could be made in the curve so as to give us one car length on
the other track beyond the comer of the fireroom which would
be quite an advantage.
In the fall the fence on the east and west line of the south
lot was rebuilt, using some of the old material. An open ditch
was made along the east, west and south lines of the south lot
and paved with stone to convey the spring and surface water
from the hill to the river.-
A 24-inch sewer was laid along the east line of the north
and south lots and across the new engine and boiler houses, to
take care of the waste water from, these buildings ; the bank has
been cut away on the south side of the new buildings, and a re-
taining wall built about 40 feet from the buildings, which is not
quite completed.
The aqueduct is completed that connects the well in the new
engine house with the^ahaft in the south lot,* and the engine and
boiler houses are completed, ready for the engine and boilers to
be erected, which will undoubtedly be done this winter. *
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY BOTTEN,
Engineer in Charge.

Report of Superintendent.
STREETS. 437
Report of the Superintendent of Streets.
Cleveland, O., January i8, 1898.
Hon. Geo. R. Warden,
Director of Public Works :
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to herewith submit to you the
Annual Report of the Street Department for 1897.
In order to simplify the report it is divided into four tables.
Table No. i contains the *' Cleaning and Rounding" of un-
paved streets, paving, carpenter work, and laying crosswalks, etc.
We have " Cleaned and Rounded" (col. i, table i) 4,448,997 lin-
eal feet of dirt streets, equal to 842.6 miles; made and repaired
16,551 feet of wooden boxes and drains, and laid and relaid 45,231
feet of crosswalks.
Table No. 2 (Cleaning Paved Streets). We have cleaned
38,707.64 squares of 10,000 feet per square, equal to 2,107.4
miles of pavement.
Tables 3 and 4 contain sewer district repairs and merchan-
dise for same, and while the expense on this work is very much
lower than in 1896, it has been augmented by the breaks on
Forest street, which cost the district $1,408.65. We have also
worked men from the Bethel Associated Charities and from the
Infirmary of the Department of Charities and Correction 9,787
days and cleaned 27,696 crosswalks.
Respectfully,
JAS. P. MURRAY,
Superintendent of Streets.

ENGINEER'S REPORT.
Report of the Chief Engineer.
Geo. R. Waroen,
Director of Puilic Works :
>EAR SiK : — I herewith submit my Annual Report of work
> Division for the year ending December 31, 1897.
'he classifications, extent and cost of the various improve-
will be found in the appended tables.
'he total amount expended for contract work of all kinds in
t of this Department during the year is $1,444,443.13.
a some departments the amount of work done this year
y exceeds that of 1896. In street paving the amount
ded in 1897 exceeds that for the previous year by 44 J "^j
in number of streets paved in 1896 and 1897 the relation is
to 39. In sewers constructed last year, while the mileage
y about one-half greater than for 1896, the cost of the work
^en nearly loo^i greater, showing that the sizes of the sew-
!re greater than the average sizes for 1896, noticeably the
sewer in Walworth street.
II miscellaneous work, river widening has added a large
o this year's table, the amount expended for land being by
e largest item.
PAVING.
'hirty-nine streets were paved or repaved during the year;
reets were paved with Medina block stone, amounting to
niles ; eleven streets were paved with Medina common stone,
ngth being 1.42 miles; and twenty-two streets were paved
brick, the latter aggregating 5. S3 miles, making a total of
liles. This amount is about 44^^ greater than the amount
nilar work in 1896.
494 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The amount of paving of all kinds in the city at the end of
the year is about 136.23 miles, as shown herein.
Proposals were received for a number of asphalt pavements
during the year, but no new contracts were made. It is expected
that these pavements will be advertised and placed under contract
early the coming year.
A decision has been rendered in the court in the Murray Hill
avenue street railroad contest and it is hoped the asphalt paving
for this street, now under contract and so long delayed, may be
completed early next year.
Recent bids for asphalt pavements show a material dropping
in prices of from 20 to 40 per cent. , owing to more active compe-
tition among bidders. This is likely to bring this class of pave-
ments into more general use in this city.
The strict classification and more rigid inspection of all
material for stone pavements has brought this class of work into
much better condition, and has eliminated almost entirely from
our pavements an inferior quality of Medina stone found in many
«
quarries and known as **red horse." The conditions in the
guaranty of pavements for a term of years has also made the
contractor more watchful upon his part, as to the quality of mate-
rial furnished.
With the single exception of Ward street, between Lorain
and Monroe streets, in all brick pavements laid during the year
a five-inch paving brick was used, the othei* dimensions being
about ^}4 inches thick by Syi inches long, made with projections
upon their sides, keeping the rows apart when laid, to receive the
grout or asphaltic cement filler used in the joints. In the street
first named a four-inch brick was used.
All paving bricks 'used during the year were either of vitri-
fied shale, or shale mixed with a proportion of fire clay. The
latter, while not as hard, are somewhat less brittle and are less
slippery than the former.
Brick pavements, owing to their cheapness, comparative
smoothness and ease of construction, are each year coming into
more general use. The past year shows the number of brick
paved streets to have exceeded both the block and common stone
pavements together by nearly 30%, and in cost more than 60%.
The growing tendency for this class of pavements should be
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 495
ouraged within reasonable limits, but not to the exclusion of
better and more expensive pavements, simply because the
ner are cheaper in first cost. The time of renewal of such
■ements must come much sooner, when the City must pay
:-half the cost of such renewal.
All pavements laid during the year have been fiHed with
aer hot asphaltic cement, Murphy Grout Filler, made at Co-
ibus, O., or with a grout filler made of one part of Saylor's
-tland Cement and one part of clean sharp sand. The two
mer fillers are known to be good when made as well as they
I be, and the latter, it is belie%'ed will, in time also prove a good
;r.
By resolution of the Council, the term of guaranty on all
ne and brick pavements laid under this year's contracts, was
ied from 3 to 5 years, while that on asphalt pavements is to
reduced from 10 years as heretofore, to 5 years, the same as
all other pavements.
Concrete foundations were used on Center street, between
■in and West River streets, paved with block stone, and on
xington avenue, between Willson and East Madison avenues,
?ed with brick, the latter being the first of the brick pave-
nts to receive a concrete foundation ; this was occasioned by
: narow roadway and double track street railroad upon it, where
■ bulk of all travel is confined within narrow limits. I recom-
nd concrete foundations for all brick pavements when laid
ier similar conditions, and under all pavements subject to ex-
sive traffic ; othem'ise our natural foundations of sand and
ivel, made hard and compact by puddling and rolling have
iwn excellent results and are less expensive.
All of the streets and alleys paved during the year with
dina common stone, with the single exception of Bridge
eet, completed from last year, were laid with old stone taken
ni other streets ; the material, after careful selection and re-
issing, has been largely used in narrow alleys heretofore un-
,'ed. Many of these alleys were in an unsightly and unsani-
y condition before paving, and are thus made clean and useful
roughfares. The alleys were paved with 2 or 3)4 foot flag-
nes, 6 inches thick, laid upon each side, and the balance paved
b the center slightly crowned, with the flagstone beveled
496 DEPARTMENT OP PUBLIC WORKS.
upon the upper corner next the gutter. This forms an excel-
lent sidewalk for pedestrians, and an equally good passageway
for teams, as wheels of vehicles easily mount and use the flag-
ging in passing teams.
The prospective paving work for the coming season is more
than 2.8 times greater than the amount done in 1897. Assum-
ing that all streets will be paved where the first installment of
the tax was placed upoil the duplicate prior to December 20th,
1897, the number of streets, mileage and estimated cost of work
to be done will be about as follows :
2 block stone pavements . 28 miles $ 25,455 00
ID common stone pavements i . 27 miles 52,169 00
12 Asphalt pavements 3-36 miles 241,36800
33 brick pavements 10.22 miles 322,731 00
57 streets. i5-i3 miles $ 641,723 00
I recommend that the bulk of all proposed paving work be
advertised and let as early in the new year as is practicable, in
order that work may start at the earliest possible moment in the
spring.
The amount and kinds of paving in the city at the close of
1897 are about as follows, it being remembered that only new
pavements can be added each year to the mileage of pavements
in use at that time :

All pavements under contract during the year were com-

avenue, from Broadway to Bower street ; the north approach to
Willson avenue bridge ; the brick paving on Buckley street, from
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 497
Burton to Harbor street ; the common stone paving on Scranton
avenue, between 'Seneca and Cliff streets, and the asphalt paving
on Murray Hill avenue, all of which are expected to be com-
menced and be completed early the coming season.
GRADING AND CURBING.
Fifteen streets were graded or graded and curbed during
1897, the length of about 2^ miles, and costing $9,427.25.
The work of grading and curbing for next year embraces
nineteen streets about 5 miles in length, and is estimated to cost
$73,605.00.
Medina stone crosswalks with 3-inch sawed stone flagging,
extending from the curb to the flagged walks along the streets,
are laid in connection with all graded and curbed streets, as
heretofore.
The most extensive improvement in street grades under
construction during the year, a part of which is embankment and
the balance steel and iron, is the overhead crossing on Willson
avenue over the tracks of the N. Y., C. & Sc. L. Ry. The road-
way will be about 25 feet above the railway tracks, with a
grade descending to the north of 6 inches per 100 feet, and
to the south of 2^ feet per 100 feet to Bower street. The entire
length of the improvement will be about 1,105 f^^t, and will cost
about $150,000.00.
SEWERS AND DRAINS.
The cost of sewer work in all its departments done during
the year 1897 is nearly 100% greater than for the year 1896, and
is more than 300% greater than the cost of all sewer work done
in 1895.
The amount expended for the year 1897 is $402,454.97, and
embraces work on seventy-nine sewers.
The sewer in Union street, from Broadway to Woodland
Hills avenue ; in Willson avenue, from Kingsbury Run to Track
street ; in Pearl street, between Brevier and Franklin avenuej>
and in the L. S. & M. S. Ry. right-of-way, from Alger street t(
Lake avenue, were completed from last year's contracts.
The sewer in Case avenue, between Woodland avenue anc
498 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Kingsbury Run; in Gordon avenue, between Breakwater and
Bridge streets; in Oliver street, between Superior street and
Euclid avenue, and the sections of the sewer in Walworth street
were left incomplete at the close of the season. In table No. 3
the amount expended upon each is shown.
Of all the sewers to be constructed during the coming year
the great Walworth street sewer overshadows all others in size,
importance and cost of construction. It is by far the largest work
of its kind ever undertaken by the City, and is exceeded in size
and importance by only a few others in this country. This sewer
will begin at the head of Walworth Run valley, at the intersec-
tion of Clark and Gordon avenues, and extend easterly in Wal-
worth street, and in a special right-of-way in said valley, a distance
of about 13,600 feet, to the Cuyahoga River. The sewer, when
complete, will have an interior diameter of 16 feet 6 inches at its
lower end and 8 feet at its upper end. It will be circular in form
upon its interior surface, with a vitrified shale brick lining
throughout. The exterior surface of the arch and haunch walls
consists of segments of circles, with radii varying according to
sizes of sewer. The exterior of the bottom will consist of a
horizontal plane, broadened out to meet the varying conditions
of the foundation. The exterior side walls below the haunches
will be straight, inclining slightly inward.
The entire lower portion of the sewer, except the inner ring,
as stated, will be of cement concrete, resting upon a plank gril-
lage when necessary. The arch and haunch walls will be of
brick masonry.
The sewer is designe'd to take storm water and sewage com-
bined. The great length of the valley, and its extreme depth be-
low all adjacent territory makes it the storm center of a vast area
extending beyond the limits of the valley proper. The steep
gradients of all street gutters and sewers connecting with it from
the adjacent lands, when fully improved and built upon, will pre-
cipitate the water from excessive rainfalls into the sewer with
such rapidity that floods in this valley would surely follow if the
sewer were not made correspondingly large to receive it ; not as
this territory now exists, but as it will be when fully built up.
I believe this necessity has been fully met, with a wise margin for
safety in the sizes and grades adopted.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 409
The sewer is estimated to cost about $730,000.
To insure its speedy contemplation, the sewer work has
been divided into four sections or working portions. Section
^o. I comprises the upper portion of the sewer, from Gordon
avenue to the angle in Walworth street 646 feet easterly from
Junction street, and is approximately 4,479 feet in length ; sec-
tion No. 2 begins at said angle and extends to a point 100 feet
west of the westerly line of Mill street, and is about 4,353 feet
long; section No. 3 begins at said last named point and extends
to a point about 823 feet east of Willey street, a distance of about
3,011 feet; said last named point is in the special right-of-way
secured for said sewer, which, after deflecting to the left from
Walworth street, follows more nearly the trend of the stream to
its crossing of Scranton avenue ; section No. 4 extends from said
point 823 feet west of Willey street, in and along special rights-
of-way obtained for said sewer to the Cuyahoga River; the
length of this last section will be about 1,770 feet.
The sewer at its outlet into the river will be of novel and
somewhat difficult construction, owing to its having to pass
under the tracks of the N. Y., P. & O. R. R. which run nearly
parallel with, and from 100 to 140 feet from the river at this
point, and consist of an upper and lower section of nearly parallel
tracks, crossing the sewer at nearly right angles.
The upper section of tracks is of sufficient height to give
nearly 20 feet fill over the crown of the sewer in its normal con-
dition. From this point the form of sewer must be sufficiently
flattened in a distance of about 40 feet to pass under the lower
section of tracks, the supporting girders of which will not be
more than 5 feet above the bottom of the sewer at this point.
Under conditions which here exist, and which are susceptible
of little or no change, this sewer, which at maximum flow will
carry an enormous volume of flood water, must within this short
distance be depressed irom a i6>^ foot circle to a flattened section
of less than 5 feet in height. To meet these conditions this flat-
tened section must be broadened to more than three times the
normal diameter of the sewer, or about 50 feet, for maximum
flood. For the minimum or dry weather flow a separate channel
will be provided either in the center or on one side of the broad-
ened section. The sudden transition of a vast volume of water
500 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
at flood tide from a circular form to a flattened section of such
unusual proportions, without shock or danger to the sewer or
to passing trains over the same, is a problem seldom met with in
sewer construction in this or any other city.
Another point on Section No. 4 where special construction
is required is where the sewer passes under the Abbey street por-
tion of the Central Viaduct, just west of Scran ton avenue. The
sewer at this point will displace one of the masonry pedestals
supporting a leg of one of the spans of the Viaduct, 60 feet above.
This can be carried by greatly broadening and deepening
the foundations of the sewer upon each side directly under
the support, and then reinforcing the side walls and arch of the
sewer sufficiently to safely carry the weight directly upon the
crown of the sewer. Another plan suggested is to build two
new and independent masonry pedestals, one upon each side of
the sewer, and carry the iron support of the bridge upon a heavy
plate girder spanning the sewer and resting upon the pedestals
upon either side.
The former plan would have the better appearance and would
not disfigure the Viaduct structure. With the latter plan there
would be less liability of accident to the bridge in case of a break
in the sewer at this point. The cost of the two plans will not
greatly differ, and either will be efficient.
The construction of the sewer necessitates the raising of the
grade of Scranton avenue some six or more feet at this crossing.
This will give a much better grade to the street, and is desired by
the abutting owners, who will waive any claim for damages, pro-
viding the cost of filling be charged to sewer construction.
The cost of paving the street, as now contemplated, to the
proposed new grade would be no greater than to the present
grade, after the filling is done. The change should commence
on the south line of Cliff street and extend to present surface
about on the south line of the Central Viaduct.
I recommend that this change be made and that the cost of
filling be charged to Walworth street sewer, as such change was
not made a part of the preliminary expense of paving the street,
and cannot well be added now.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. n 601
Work was commenced upon the lower end of Section No. i
by Messrs. Wilson & Strack, of Cincinnati, early in the season,
and later upon the portion above Swiss street. Good work was
done, and about 1,630 feet of sewer was put in.
Work was commenced late in the season by Messrs. Bramley
& Gribben on Section No. 2, at its lower end near Mill street,
and about 430 feet of sewer completed. The sewer is ii}4 feet
in diameter at this point.
Work was also commenced by them, and the concrete
foundation put in on the large overflow chamber about 800 or
900 feet west of Mill street, where the sanitary flow from this
sewer is to be taken up and carried by gravity across the city to
and through Perry and North Perry streets to the eastern inter-
cepter in Lake street.
Messrs. Bramley & Gribben are also the contractors for Sec-
tion Xo. 3 of this sewer, but, owing to the lateness of the season
when the contract was let, no work has been done.
Owing to the magnitude of this sewer and the great volume
of water that it will at times carry, the specifications in all con-
tracts on this work are more exact, and call for better and differ-
ent material and workmanship than has ever been required on
sewer work in this city before, and with very gratifying results.
A testing laboratory was opened in one of the rooms con-
nected with my office, for testing all material used in this work.
Careful tests have been made of all sand and cement used for
fineness; of cement for set and tensile strength, when made into
briquettes, and of all bricks for absorption.
This new requirement in specifications, and its strict en-
forcement, occasioned some friction at first, but matters soon ad-
justed themselves, and better and more uniform material and
workmanship were secured thereby, and soon all came to see
that to definitely measure the amount of material was, after all,
more satisfactory than to have inspectors and contractors guess
at it, and differ as they always will.
The intercepting sewer along the L- S. & M. S. Ry. right-of-
way, commenced last year, has been completed this season, from
the point where work had stopped, to Lake avenue, a distance of
about 3,037 feet, decreasing from 7^ feet in diameter to 6 feet
at the last mentioned avenue. The cost was about $30,000.
602 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
This sewer should be continued the coming season from its
easterly end, near Alger street, along the L. S. & M. S. Ry. right-
of-way to and connect with the sewer in Waverly avenue, that
citizens along the line of the sewers built this season, and con-
necting with this sewer, may have the benefit of sewer connec-
tions for their property, which cannot be done until the Waverly
avenue sewer is reached.
The sewer in Lake avenue, from the L. S. & M. S. Ry. right-
of-way to Detroit street, with its storm-overflow chamber and
outlet under the L. S. & M. S. tracks, and also its sanitar>' con-
nection with the intercepting sewer to the east, have all been
completed this year.
The storm overflow chamber and its connections form a
complicated and important piece of work, difficult of construction,
especially the tunnel work under the L. S. & M. S. Ry. where
water and quicksand were encountered, which occasioned the
constant settling of the tracks during construction, but was com-
pleted without accident or the stopping of trains. This overflow
sewer, which is designed to receive the storm overflow of all
sewers centering at this point, should, if possible, be put under
contract the coming winter and carried to the lake through Edge-
water Park with all reasonable dispatch, the proper grant having
been secured from the Board of Pai k Commissioners.
This sewer is to be built in tunnel and will be 9 feet 4 inches
in diameter and about 1,000 feet long, to the bank of the lake,
and can be easily prosecuted during the winter months. Owing
to the material likely to be encountered, compressed air will
doubtless have to be used, and should be specified in receiving
bids.
The outlet is expected to be carried out into the lake, but
the distance or mode of construction has not been decided upon.
Of the Detroit street sewers belonging to this system, the
sewers from Lake avenue to Gordon avenue and that from Sco-
ville lane to Lowell street, with its outlet through the former
street into the Lake avenue sewer, have all been completed this
year.
The sewers in Detroit street, from Lake avenue to Scoville
lane, and from Landon street easterly to Elliott street, with an
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 503
outlet through the latter street to the sewer in Lake avenue, are
expected to be completed early the coming season, as the former
and the sewer in Elliott street are under contract.
The sewer in Desmond street, just south of and parallel with
the L. S. & M. S. Ry., from Lake avenue westerly to and along
the Boulevard to Detroit street, should be built next season, as
this will serve as the outlet for tlm sewers in this portion of De-
troit street, Wellington and West Madison avenues, and of streets
in their vicinity greatly needing sewerage facilities.
Land has been secured for the eastern terminal of the Inter-
cepting sewer, and work should begin at this end as soon as
possible.
Such legislation should be secured the coming winter as is
necessary to enable us to secure, either by condemnation or other-
wise, the right to construct the sewer through the villages of
Glenville and Collinwood, through whose territory it must pass
to reach the City.
No further progress has been made toward the construction
of the proposed Doan street sewer, for the like reason that one-
half its length, and that the lower half, must pass through Glen-
ville to reach the intercepter. This sewer, if built through the
City's portion only, would have no outlet and could not be used.
Similar legislation should also be secured for this sewer.
Surveys and maps have been made in the valleys of Kings-
bury and Morgan Runs during the year looking to the building
of intercepting sewers in these valleys, as must sooner or later be
done. The steps here required will be similar to the steps taken
to redeem' the valley of Walworth Run. No definite action has
yet been taken in regard to either of the two valleys.
Legislation should also be secured the coming winter author-
izing the construction of a conduit for deflecting the waters of
Giddings Brook east of Woodland Hills avenue through Baldwin
street into Doan Brook.
The Board of Park Commissioners are favorable to this
project, and the inhabitants along and in the vicinity of Giddings
Brook, from Woodland Hills avenue to the lake, are demand-
ing some relief, as this creek is little more than a dry bed much
of the year, but is subject to sudden floods.
604 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The expense would be somewhere from $40,000 to $50,000,
and should in part be borne by those who would receive most
benefit by getting rid of the nuisance.
The sewers in Forest street, from Kingsbury Run to Croton
street, and the sewer in Columbus street, from West River street
to I^orain street, have been replaced during the year by larger and
more substantial sewers. Bo#h of these sewers were upon steep
gradients and the old sewers were so nearly worn out as to be a
constant source of expense and anxiety. To renew the former
cost $13,840.00 and the latter about $7,000.00.
The prospective work for 1898, as shown in Table No. 7 of
this report, embraces sewers on 112 streets, aggregating in length
more than 30 miles, and are estimated to cost $2,995,112.00.
The work of constructing the 79 sewers under contract dur-
ing the year, and preparing estimates, plans, resolutions and
ordinances, etc., for the 112 sewers referred to above for 1898, has
made the Division of Sewers and Drains the largest and most
important in this Department.
RIVER PURIFICATION.
A plan for river purification was recommended to the City
Council in January, 1896, by the Commission of Expert Engi-
neers. This plan was approved by the Council on February 3,
1896, and if to be done should receive such consideration the
coming year as will place the project under construction at least
during the year following.
The Commission recommended the construction of a flush-
ing tunnel 18 feet in diameter, extending from the lake at Edge-
water Park, near the foot of Barrett street, thence under the city
in nearly a direct line to the Cuyahoga River upon the Infirmary
farm, near the foot of Valentine street produced.
By the use of a large propeller wheel pump, to be located on
the lake end, lake water can be pumped through the tunnel in
quantity sufficient to displace the entire volume of water in the
Cuyahoga River from this point to the lake, a distance of about
6yi miles every 24 hours, without injury to abutting property or
disturbance to navigation.
A similar plan is in successful operation at Milwaukee and
has been for some years, where even worse conditions as to river
ENGINEER'S. REPORT. 606
pollution prevailed than exist here, owing to the many large
breweries and large tanneries located along the river. So satis-
factory has the Milwaukee project been that similar treatment
has been ordered for the other of its two rivers, also a greatly
polluted stream.
The benefits derived from this method of river purification
result from the flushing of all waste matter out of the river into
the cooler waters of the lake before decomposition and putrefac-
tion take place. Such decomposition is not there likely to take
place in such degree as to contaminate our water supply as at
present, where the river water is discharged into the lake in an
already vitiated condition.
This tunnel, with its pumping plant, would be likely to con-
sume two or more years in construction. By that time our new
water supply would be in use, before river flushing could be
made available.
The flushing tunnel and pumping plant have been estimated
to cost about $1,000,000.
RIVER AND HARBOR WORK.
Important progress has been made in the steps preliminary
to widening the river and opening a channel into the lake at the
upper end of the Old River Bed, as already referred to in this
report. An opening has been made through the railroad em-
bankment for a bridge over the channel to the lake and a portion
of the heavy stone abutment has been completed. The bridge
will be 100 feet long, spanning a 60-foot channel for boats and a
40-foot passageway for public travel or car tracks, as may here-
after be determined.
The mouth of the harbor or entrance to the Cuyahoga River
is to be very materially improved, it is hoped, the coming season
by the entire rebuilding of the West pier by the General Gov-
ernment, about 180 feet west of the present location of the pier,
providing the city secures and donates the land for such widen-
ing. The negotiation leading to the purchase of most of this
property is now already complete, and a wider harbor, ample for
the entrance for the largest lake vessels, seems assured.
606 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The widening of the River, as now proposed, upon its west-
erly side, extends from the Old River Bed to a point 40 feet south
of the south line of ]plm street.
From Main street, about 885 feet southerly, to a point about
300 feet north of the Superior Street Viaduct, the river has been
widened from 35 feet at Main street to about 60 feet near the
Viaduct, by constructing an entire new dock 18 feet in width and
dredging the channel in front of the same to 19 feet of water, at
a cost of $26,867.87. The cost of additional land not already
owned by the City for widening the river between the above
points was $272,697.91.
The river, upon its easterly side, between Seneca and Ma-
honing streets, was dredged, new docks constructed and widened
about 30 feet in its widest part, at a cost of $1 1,600.00, during the
past year.
During the coming year, if the necessary funds can be se-
cured, the work should be completed from the end of the new
dock, about 300 feet north of the Viaduct, to the easterly end of
the proposed change, 40 feet south of Elm street. This work
will cost about $30,000.00, exclusive of the reinforcing of the
abutment of the Viaduct, which latter is estimated to cost as
much more. A portion of the land for such widening has already
been secured and negotiations are now pending for the balance.
There are several sections of the river above this point which
should receive the attention of the authorities. One is the point
near the intersection of Columbus and Leonard streets, where the
very narrow channel of the river is obstructed by the center pier
of the C, C, C. & St. L. Ry. freight bridge, where the channel
is divided into two extremely narrow openings, one of 54)^ feet
and one of 55 feet. The bridge is built of wood and is about to
be replaced by a new structure. When this is done the center
pier should be placed wholly upon one side of the channel, as the
city contemplates at Center street and has done at Willow street.
No permit should be given the railway company to rebuild this
bridge unless the center pier is to be moved to one side.
That part of the river between Middle and Lower Seneca
street bridges, and known as " ColUsion Bend," is one of the most
difficult parts of the channel to navigate, owing to the narrow-
ness of the channel and close proximity of the two bridges.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 507
A large strip of land, not less than 50 feet wide in the widest
part, should be taken from the right or east bank of the river
between Middle Seneca street bridge and the Valley tracks, and
a small strip from the apex of the curve on the left bank, and
added to the channel width around the curve, for the better
handling of large vessels. This should be supplemented by the
rebuilding of the bridge at this point, known as Middle Seneca
street bridge, and placing the center pier out of the channel and
wholly upon one side of the river, as hereinafter referred to in
this report.
A small triangle of land should be secured from the northerly
side of the Cincinnati slip, near the end of Ohio street, to increase
the width of the slip and better facilitate the winding of vessels
at this point. This land, with the necessary docks and dredging^
has been estimated to cost about $10,000.00.
Additional land should be secured for extending the 60-foot
channel now being constructed at the head of the old riverbed
by the L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co., from the north line of said com-
pany's right of way to the lake, presumably about 500 feet. The
cost of this work with the necessary land may be roughly stated
at $5o,ocx).oo.
At the request of the Council an estimate was made of the
cost of a preliminary pier, to be afterwards enlarged and extended,
at the foot of Willson avenue, the cost of which it was reported
would be about $36,300.00.
Sooner or later the question of straightening the river at Jef-
ferson street must be take up, as a new north abutment for
the bridge at this point is at once a necessity, and the bridge it-
self must soon be renewed. The channel of the river at the
bridge is very confined and crooked, and is subject to the worst
ice gorges in the entire river. A new channel should be placed
about 500 or 600 feet to the west. This work, including land,
docking and dredging, exclusive of a new ^bridge, would cost
about $1 10,000.
In the rebuilding of all river bridges, wherever practicable,
and as soon as possible, all center and other piers should be re-
moved from the center of the channel, whether the bridges are
used for highways or railroad purposes.
508 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The low stage of water in the river and lake, noted in my
last Annual Report has changed during the last year from 1.3
and 1.6 below to only about .8 feet below government zero, which
is the base of reference on all river and harbor dredging, both by
the United States Government and the City; this base is 2.34
feet below the City base of levels.
The channel has been dredged to a uniform depth of 19 feet
below zero, with a width of 130 to 140 feet wherever practicable,
except in the river between the N. Y., P. & O. bridge near Broad-
way and the weighlock, where the channel was dredged to some-
what less depth. The river dredging contract has been renewed
for another five years, and extends to the easterly limits of the
City. The price per cubic yard is 12 cents, including logging,
but logging done in sections of the river not heretofore dredged
is paid for at the rate of $8 per hour of actual work. The price
per cubic yard includes removal to the dumping ground in the
lake east of Case avenue. The amount of dredging done during
the year 1897 was 164,296 cubic yards, and cost $22,346.43 ; this
amount is nearly double the amount of the preceding year.
The Erie street extension work into the lake has made sub-
stantial progress during the year. The 20 foot pile and timber
pier has been extended into the lake along the easterly line of
Erie street about 600 feet beyond the point where the work was
left off last year, at a cost of $17,531.96, and now ends about
1,144 feet from shore. From near this point a pier should be
deflected to the left at nearly a right angle, and continued west-
erly about 24 feet wide towards Seneca street, about 600 feet
from and parallel with the United States government dock line, if
the same is extended east of Seneca street on the same line as
now fixed west of that point, as seems most desirable for the
City, giving more room for a public landing, or pleasure ground,
as the same shall hereafter be used.
The Secretary of War has, however, fixed the harbor-line,
not as an extension of the line west of Seneca street, where it is
about 1,800 feet from the shore, but deflecting from that point
towards land, until at Erie street it is near the end of this year's
work, instead of 600 feet farther into the lake, as it should be.
It is hoped that the Government will change the present order
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 509
and continue on the straight line up to and past Erie street, at
least. This harbor-line is 1,700 feet south of the breakwater,
Tvherever that may be located.
The westerly or 24-foot pier, as proposed by the City, could
"be used as the southerly end of slips, if constructed out 600 feet,
to the northerly boundary of the proposed extension of Lake
View Park, as this reclaimed portion of the lake may hereafter
be used. t
During the year the pile protection heretofore begun has
been completed from Erie street westerly to a point 731 feet west
of the west line of Erie street, and about 235 feet from and par-
allel with the shore, and is designed to protect the land being
made at this point from cellar excavations, etc., from being
washed away and carried out into the harbor. This protection is
a requirement of the government authorities. About $1 1,685.00
has been expended on this work, of which about $4,200.00 has
been this season. Additional funds have been asked for to ex-
tend the pier westerly, as above suggested.
It is estimated that not less than 175,000 cubic yards of
^ earth have been deposited in the lake at the foot of Erie street
since it was opened as a public dumping ground three years ago,
thus adding not less than 4 acres of ground to Lake View Park
ijvithout cost to the city, except for labor in spreading the earth
as received.
VIADUCTS AND BRIDGES.
Willow street swing bridge, referred to in my report of 1896
as being in process of construction, was completed and opened to
travel about August 1 7th of this year.
The amount reported as expended in 1896 on this work was
$31,622.49. The amount expended to complete the same, as
shown in Table No. 4 of this report, is $52,309.61, including
superstructure, land damages, etc., which, with $10,100.00 pre-
viously paid for land, makes a total to date of $94,032.10. To
this amount should be added the sum to be paid to the Cleveland
& Pittsburgh Railroad Company for a triangular piece of land
not yet acquired at the extreme easterly end of the bridge when
opened. The price asked for this land is $3,000.00, which, if
added to the above amount, would increase the cost to $97,032.10.
510 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
This land should be acquired at once, as the bridge is only enabled
to swing in one direction at present, which is, at times, dangerous
both to the bridge and to navigation.
This bridge is operated by electricity- and is giving excellent
satisfaction. The height of the bridge is sufficient to allow the
majority of all river tugs to pass under it without swinging, by
lowering their smoke-stacks. This rule should be enforced, as
the present ordinances of the city fully cover such cases, and its
observance would save fully half the number of swings.
Work upon the north approach to the Willson avenue over-
head bridge has been so far completed that the 6o-foot girder
span, which is the balance of the city's portion of the work, is
now in process of erection, and it is hoped will be finished not
later than February i, 1898.
The pavement for the north approach is under contract, and
bids have been received for the south approach, both will be
completed as soon as the weather permits.
The embankment, masonry abutment and pedestals for a
steel bridge over the tracks and the south approach to this bridge
to be built by the N. Y., C. & St. 1,. Ry. Co., are completed, and
the superstructure has so far progressed that the entire structure,
it is hoped, will be completed not later than March i, 1898.
The entire structure will be about 1,105 ^^^^ long, and will
extend from a point 125 feet north of Julia street on the north, to
Bower street on the south. The roadway of the bridge will be
about 25 feet above the tracks of the N. Y , C. & St. L. Ry., with
a descending grade of j^ foot per 100 feet to the north and about
2 J4 feet per 100 feet to the south. The whole structure will cost
about $105,000.00, of which amount the N. Y., C. & St. L. Ry.
Co. will pay about $70,000.00, the city $25,000.00, and the
Cleveland Electric Railway Company $10,000.00. This struc-
ture, when completed and in use, will be the most noticeable
improvement of the year.
A portion of the land required in the construction of the
new Center street bridge has been purchased and the balance is
being secured by appropriation or purchase. This bridge will be
of the ordinary pivot pattern, with the center pier wholly upon
the westerly side of the channel. One arm of the bridge- will be
about 145 feet and the other about 100 feet long. This should
give fully 114 feet clear waterway for vessels.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 511
The bridge, with foundations, motive power and the neces-
sary land will cost about $120,000.00, and, it is hoped, will be
completed without dela}^ as the present structure should have
been replaced by a new and modern bridge of wider roadway and
channel, and quicker movement long ago.
Middle Seneca street bridge, to which attention was called
in my former report, should be supplied with a new turntable
and with new motive power, as the slow movement of this bridge
by hand power, in its peculiar location, is a source of great delay
to public travel, and the proper navigation of the river, which at
this point is both crooked and narrow, and well deserves its name
of " Collision Bend.*'
If the necessary funds were at hand, or can be secured for
next year, I recommend a more radical treatment of this part of
the river by the entire removal of the present bridge, with its
pier in the center of the channel, and the erection of a new and
much longer structure, with its center pier wholly upon the west-
erly side of the channel, the purchase of two triangles of land for
bridge purposes, and a further purchase of land from the right
and left sides of the channel below the bridge to allow an easier
and wider passage for vessels at this sharp deflection of the river.
Such change would give a clear channel at the bridge of about
125 feet. Below the bridge the channel could be widened from
30 to 50 feet in its most difficult part. The new bridge would
cost about $75,000.00; additional land for the same perhaps
$30,000.00 more. The land for widening the channel below this
point, as suggested, might add $35,000.00, which latter expense
should be charged to River Widening.
The expense of such change would be about $140,000.00.
The present structure could be moved to the proposed new chan-
nel, which has been suggested for straightening the river about
500 or 600 feet west of Jefferson street bridge, where the channel
would be nearly straight for some distance upon either side, and
this bridge with a pier in the center of the channel would serve
an excellent purpose. Its removal and erection in the new loca-
tion, I think, would not cost to exceed $40,000, not, of course,
including land, docking and dredging for the new river channel,
which latter might of itself cost from $100,000.00 to $120,000.00,
and should be charged to River Widening.
512 DEPARTMENT OF PUBUC WORKS.
Jefferson street bridge is an old structure and must soon give
place to a new one. The north abutment is so far undermined as
to require renewal this season, or at a very early date, to prevent
accidents. This is estimated to cost about $12,000.00. To build
a new bridge at this location is inexpedient, as the river is so
crooked and confined at this point that it is subject to the worst
ice gorges in the entire river. It is therefore evident that both,
a new bridge and anew channel at this point are matters for seri-
ous consideration.
Land, with necessary slope rights, for the new Willett street
Viaduct over the valley of Walworth Run has been secured to
the amount of $10,415.95. The additional land required may
increase the amount to $13,000.00. In my annual report of 1895
J estimated the cost of this structure, not then authorized, at
from $110,000.00 to $120,000.00, but for some cause the amount
appropriated for this work was only' $90,000.00, including land
damages. This amount I deem insufiicient for the erection of a
suitable structure at this important crossing, and would recom-
mend that an additional $15,000.00 be asked for at the coming^
session of the Legislature.
As planned, the structure will be of steel, 56 feet wide and
900 feet long, including earth approaches. There will be a 40-
foot roadway and two sidewalks of 8 feet each.
Land and slope rights will be required for the Warner road
improvement to the amount of about $14,000.00. The work is
already advertised for the new 25 foot span stone arch culvert
over Mill creek as a part of the improvement, and work is ex-
pected to commence early in the spring.
The embankment, which is the largest part of the improve-
ment, raises the grade of the street at the intersection of Tumey
avenue about 16 feet, and is designed in part to carry the sewage
from the State Hospital for the Insane across the valley of Mill
Creek to the city sewer in Broadway, for which purpose the State
is to contribute $10,000.00 toward the improvement.
It is claimed that this appropriation will lapse in February
next if the money is not used before that time. Steps should be
taken as soon as the Legislature convenes to extend the time of
payment, as it will be 'impossible to use the money before that
time.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 513
The close proximity of Mill Creek to the heavy embankment
at the intersection of Tumey avenue made it necessary to pur-
chase additional land and slope rights, pushing the embank-
ment farther away, or to construct heavy and more expensive re-
taining walls along the stream. The former plan is much
cheaper and better and has been adopted.
The improvement will extend from Broadway to the city
limits at Grand Division avenue, and will cost, approximately,
^2,583.00. Of this amount the city is to pay for the culvert,
street intersections, and one-fiftieth of the entire expense. The
State, as aforesaid, will pay $10,000.00. Sixty per cent, of the
balance, including land damages, is charged to the property on
Warner Road and 40% to all the property ih the city upon the
"west and south sides of Mill Creek.
Seneca street wooden bridge, extending over the tracks of the
C. & P. R. R. and the L. S. & M. S. Ry. east of the Union Depot,
was completed early in the season, at a cost of about $8,500.00.
The bridge has a 16-foot roadway, and a 4-foot sidewalk upon the
easterly side. It consists of a single span of i6o feet over all the
tracks, and an inclined roadway extending easterly about 400
feet, making an easy approach to the lake at this point. The
bridge is at present used by teams conveying earth to the lake
for filling, as is being done at Erie street.
The widening of the river upon each side of Main street
bridge will necessitate a new west abutment or the reinforcement
of the old one. This should be a part of River Widening, and
-would cost, with new docks and dredging, from $12,000.00 to
$16,000.00.
The changing .of the channel under the Superior street Via-
duct will also necessitate the reinforcing of the heavy stone abut-
ment supporting the westerly end of the draw span, and also the
easterly end of the last of the series of heavy stone arches of the
Viaduct. This work is estimated to cost $30,000.00 or more, and
-will be incident to and a part of the cost of River Widening.
lyand has been secured for the proposed bridge to connect
Martin and Praha streets to the amount of $3,725.00. The ad-
ditional land required at the westerly end and slope rights at the.
easterly end will add about $8,275.00 more.

614 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
This bridge will open a new and important crossing over the
tracks of the N. Y., P. & O. R. R. The structure, which will be
of steel with earth approaches, will be about 675 feet long, and
is estimated to cost, with land and damages, about $37,000.00,
and is expected to be completed in 1898.
Marked progress has been made by the L. S. & M. S. Ry. Co.
toward the construction of the stationary bridge under its tracks
at the head of the Old River Bed, as per agreement between the
company and the City of last year.
This bridge will be 100 feet long, and will span a 60-foot
channel to be dredged and docked for the passage of tugs and
small craft into the lake at this point. The bridge will also span
a 40-foot roadway alongside said channel, to be used as a highway
or for the passage of railroad tracks to the lake front, as may
hereafter be determined by the City.
Piling has been driven to support the tracks of the company,
an open passageway, excavated the full width of the bridge, and
one abutment is now well under way.
Winslow street bridge, over the tracks of the N. Y., P. & 0.
R. R., should be renewed by the railway company and made the
full width of the street. This bridge is very old, very narrow
and too light for the occasional heavy loads passing over the
sanle. It should be rebuilt by the company the coming season.
The painting of the Central Viaduct, commenced in 1896
and partially completed, should be finished next year without
fail, as should also the iron portion of the Superior Street Via-
duct.
The stability and safety of these important structures depend
upon their immunity from rust, far more than from wear.
The roadways, including paving and flooring, on the Central,
Kingsbury and Pearl Street Viaducts are being, or are to be, re-
placed by a double course of white oak plank in each case except
the east half of the roadway on the Pearl Street Viaduct, where
creosoted white pine flooring planks and 5-inch paving blocks are
to be substituted for the long leaf southern pine flooring planks
and paving blocks heretofore used on all the viaducts with little
success, as the paving blocks especially have lasted only from 4
to 5 years, decaying long before they are actually worn out.
About $7,600.00 has been expended upon the Central and
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 515
Xingsbury Viaducts. About $13,280.00 will be required to com-
plete the same, of which amount $6,730.00 is under contract.
Bids have been received for the material for the Pearl Street Via-
duct to the amount of $1,400.00. It is expected that the work
will be completed during the winter.
At the request of His Honor the Mayor, made early last
spring, I have had the Central Viaduct structure thoroughly in-
spected in every part by expert engineers outside of my depart-
ment, who report that they find the structure in safe and perfect
condition in all its parts, except that the iron work should be
painted and that the flooring plank should be renewed in several
places.
This report corroborates the report made to me in 1896 by
the Superintendent of Bridges, as to the good and safe condition
of this bridge, as referred to in my annual report of last year.
Such examinations and reports upon these large structures
are reassuring to the administration and to the general public,
and should be more frequently made.
While on the subject of bridges I cannot refrain from strongly
impressing upon the administration and Council the necessity of
using every effort to have the piers of all railroad swing bridges
removed from the center of the channel and placed upon one side
whenever a permit is asked for, or an attempt made to rebuild or
renew any of the present structures so located, or to build new
ones.
The City should be e<iually observant of such a policy in re-
gard to its own bridges.
SURVEYS.
The surveys made during the year, as given in Table No. 9,
number 245.
The principal surveys of the year were the sur\^eys of Mor-
gan Run valley, from Broadway to the Cuyahoga River, and of
Kingsbury Run valley, from Kinsman street to the Cuyahoga
River.
All the adjacent street and original lot lines, and many prop-
erty lines, were defined, and a general topography of the territory
mentioned was made.
516 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
An extensive and thorough survey was made of streets lo-
cated in the Barber and Lord's allotment, within the territory
bounded by Monroe, Willett, Fulton, York and McLean streets.
The street lines were determined, according to the record of said
allotment.
Survey's were also made of the Lake Shore Boulevard, from
Doan street easterly to the first angle east of Adams avenue in
Collinwood, and of the parcel of land, and its topography, pur-
chased by the city for the intercepting sewer outlet.
The following surveys were made for the opening and ex-
tension of streets : Central avenue, from Alanson street to Doan
street ; Woodward place, from the present easterly terminus to
Republic street ; Halsey street, from Cedar avenue to Quebec
street ; Brownell street, from Woodland avenue to Orange street;
Gustave court, from its westerly end to Brighton street.
Surveys were also made for both of the routes for the pro-
posed Willett street viaduct, for the Martin-Praha street bridge^
and of Warner road, Turney avenue, and approaches thereto.
Alignments and elevations were given for all bridges and
culverts, etc., constructed during the year.
As has been the custom for several years past, surveys were
made of all streets previous to their improvements.
An unusually large amount of office work was done, caused
by the many appropriation cases, the Cuyahoga River improve-
ments, and the indexing, keeping up and classifying of the
records.
Surveys for the location of lost or displaced monuments is
also a large item, as will be seen by reference to Table No. 15.
SUBDIVISIONS AND PLATS.
Thirteen (13) plats of maps or subdivisions were submitted
to the Division of Surveys for examination and correction, be-
fore being approved by the Board of Control and Council. The
list, with name and location of plat, and the date of its approval
by the Council, will be found in Table No. 10 of this report.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 617
NEW STREETS AND ALLEYS.
Thirteen (13) new streets and alleys were laid out and dedi-
cated to public use in the new subdivisions, aggregating i}(
miles in length.
The name, length and location of the new streets and alleys^
with the date of dedication will be found in Table No. 14.
STREET MONUMENTS.
With the growth of every city, and the increasing values of
land property incident thereto, the location and preservation of
all monuments designating street and property lines, becomes
each year, more imperative and vital.
The most serious menace to the preservation and safety of
street monuments is the construction of sewers, water and gas
mains, electrical conduits and car tracks, which are each year be-
coming more numerous and aggressive, as they crowd upon each
other for the occupancy of public streets.
More than usual care has been taken this year to preserve
the location of these monuments when making street improve-
ments. When the location of monuments are matters of public
record with the County or City, or are known to this office, their
locations are referenced and carefully guarded by cross lines,
stakes and points set by instrument, before the improvements are
made or the monument disturbed.
All such stakes, lines and points are carefully guarded and
frequently tested and strengthened, from time to time after the
improvement has been completed, and until the ground has
ceased to settle or change position, when the monument is then
reset from the same reference points made before its removal.
All such reference points, lines and stakes are platted in
proper books kept in the office vaults, and are open to the in-
spection of all surveyors, under proper regulations.
With all our care, some monuments are lost and have to be
xeplaced, often by extensive surveys, and even then there is
often a suspicion, quite often a direct charge, that the monument
-was not replaced in its original position.
618 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
The referencing, care, replacing and preservation of all street
monuments should be placed in charge of one party in the Divis-
ion of Plats and Surveys, who should be held strictly accountable
for all losses and displacements of street monuments and land-
marks.
Street monuments are usually made of stone, from 24 to 30
inches in length, 8 to 10 inches square at the base and dressed to
6 inches square at the top, with a ^-inch hole from i to 2 inches
deep drilled in the top at its center.
River survey monuments, defining established dock lines,
are similar in form, wijth " R. S." and number of such stone cut
in top.
Number of monuments referenced during the year 239
Number of monuments reset from reference 89
Number of monuments tested 121
Number of monuments reset from surveys 68
Total 517
HOUSE NUMBERING.
Nineteen (19) streets were numbered or re-numbered by this
department under special resolution of the Council ; the length
of the streets was 7^ miles.
Surveys are made of each street numbered and all buildings
accurately located upon the street. A number is assigned for
each 20 feet of space in the residence and 15 feet in the heavy
business portion of the Citj^ without reference to lot frontages.
Under the present system of street numbering, No. i com-
mences on the right hand side of all streets, at the northerly or
lake end of all streets running in a northerly and southerly direc-
tion, and at the river end on all streets running in an easterly
and westerly direction.
The present method of placing the numbers upon the houses,
after the surveys are completed, maps made and numbers assigned
by this oflSce, is entirely unsatisfactory both to the property own-
ers and to the City.
The person designated as house numberer is allowed to col-
lect 25c. from each house owner, after painting and placing upon
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 519
Quse the proper number, which consists of plain black figures
small zinc plate tacked to the building. Very many persons
lot pay for such a number, often because of its cheapness,
because they did not want their houses re-numbered, or
no money at hand to pay for the same and refuse to allow
Id numbers to be changed.
in my judgment, the City should pay the cost of putting up
reet numbers, and after a reasonable time should cause the
umbers to be removed from the houses to preveut the dupli-
a of numbers upon the same street. This work should be
by the Police Department, or by a proper officer clothed
police powers, as no other would be likely to succeed in see-
where serious objections are sure to be made to such
je, if done well and thoroughly.
^a the streets numbered during the year4,ioonuraberswere
aed, 626 buildings were located and platted and 654 num-
were put up.
STREET LEVELS AND CROSS-SECTIONS.
vEvels are run and profiles are made of all streets and alleys
e the grade can be established or any kind of improvement
e made upon them. If the street is to be graded or paved,
■sections are made and quantities worked out in advance of
nprovement.
)ne hundred and fifty streets and alleys were leveled or
■sectioned during the year, aggregating 22.9 miles,
STREET GRADES ESTABLISHED.
Ordinances were written and grades were established on 44
;s, a^jegating 9.9 miles. One or more working profiles are
of each street, and one is also platted in the profile books,
lich reference is made by volume and page in the ordinance
lishing the grade.
ZERO OR BASE OF LEVELS.
VII street improvements are made from the same datum or
of levels, which is described in an ordinance of the Council,
d iu 1 854, as being the (then) surface of water in Lake Erie,
520 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
2 feet below the south end of the stone parapet wall of the old
U. S. Government pier at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River.
This plane was said to be 564 feet above tide water at Albany.
Recent and more accurate levels place the elevation somewhat
greater above tide water at that point. The original ** bench
mark '* described in the ordinance referred to has long since dis-
appeared, but not until scores of elevations had been taken from
it and transferred to more permanent and accessible points
throughout the city, and are matters of public record.
The datum, or *' zero of water gauge," as it is termed, used
in all dredging work is the U. S. Government zero, and is 2.34
feet below the city base, which latter, owing to the receding of
the lake surface, is now from 2^ to 3^ feet above the latter.
STREET LIGHTING.
The streets of the city were lighted at the close of 1897 by
5,249 gas street lamps, 4,460 vapor street lamps and 854 electric
street lamps, a total of 10,563 lamps.
This shows a decrease of 849 gas lamps, 175 vapor lamps and
an increase of 354 electric lamps, making a total decrease in num-
ber during the year of 670 lamps.
The total cost of gas, lighting, extinguishing and
taking care of the gas lamps for the year is. . . $ 97,818 14
The cost of vapor lamps is 66,319 25
The cost of electric arc lamps is 62,778 20
The total cost is $226,915 59
The cost of lamp posts, lanterns, supports, tips and burners,
repairs and new work is $7,578.19.
The cost of lighting the City Hall $3, 144.88, and of lighting
Superior Street Viaduct $30.88 ; the salary of the Gas Inspector
IS $1,000.00.
This makes the total cost of lighting the public streets, the
City Hall and the Superior Street Viaduct for the year $238,-
669.54.
The cost for each gas lamp, including gas, care and mainte-
nance, is $16.78 per year of 3,760 hours on the east side of the
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 521
, and $16.85 per year on the west side of the river, and for
r lighting the cost per lamp is $13.98 per year, A deduction
ade on the vapor lights for diminished candle power and
s of burning, which during the year reduced the average cost
amp to $12.52.
rhe cost of electric arc lamps of 2,000 candle power per year
4.80 per lamp.
[a gas lighting the city owns all lamps, posts, service pipe
fixtures. In vapor lighting the city owns the posts only,
t in electric lighting all lamps, wires and fixtures are owned
le company.
The number of electric lamps was increased nearly 70% dur-
:he year, showing the increasing popularity of this light,
gh the cost is materially greater than other lights.
The 344 new arc lights erected during the year cost $8,542.45
I than the 1,391 gas and vapor lights %vhich were di.splaced
d have cost.
Each new arc lamp lighted during the year displaced upon
verage of 4.2 gas and vapor lamps. To make the cost equal
ose displaced, the average should be 5.6 for each new arc
. This is largely due to the fact that our blocks are longer
are found in most cities, and less frequent intersections,
e each arc light displaces a greater number of gas or vapor
>s than can be done by the intermediate lamps.
The price of gas to the City and to private consumers is 80
! per 1,000 cubic feet.
Both gas companies pay into the City Treasury 6}i% of
gross receipts each year, which amounted to about $58,300
jg 1897. This fund is now about $271,600, and is to be
for the erection of a new City Hall.
SIDEWALKS.
All sidewalks are laid by or at the expense of abutting
;rs.
Resolutions are passed by the Council, requiring flagging to
id on certain streets. At the close of the season, all walks
aid, as ordered, are placed upon the tax list as delinquent.
tax is collected for the same, and the work is done by the
the next season.
622 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
10,935 square feet of walk were reported as delinquent, and
after delays occasioned b}' readvertising and other causes, a con-
tract was entered into with M. P. Flatten to lay the walks, but
owing to the lateness of the season only 4,202 square feet were
laid in 1897, leaving a balance of 6,733 square f^t to be laid in
1898, together with 540 square feet to relay, including about 200
cubic yards of excavation to be done in connection therewith.
The price for new sawed flagging laid is I2j4 cents per square
foot.
By far the greater portion of all the flagging in the City is
laid by the owners, either with or without notice from the City.
Table No. 21 shows that 8.97 miles of sidewalk grades were
given during the year by this Department. Assuming that 90%
of the length of streets was laid with 6 foot walks, and the balance
with 5 foot walks, we have the approximate sum of nearly
279,500 square feet of flagging added during the year, to the very
large amount of flagging already laid in the City, which is a no-
table feature of Cleveland streets.
HOUSE SEWER AND WATER CONNECTIONS.
The putting in of all necessary water and sewer connections
to curb line in advance of the paving of any street or alley is
made compulsory when ordered by the City, and if not put in by
the owner after due notice — usually ten (10) days — the work is
done by the City and charged against the lot owner and is paid
with his other taxes.
Connections carried to the street line and into the lot are
voluntary on the part of the owner, except in cases where the
Health Officer declares a nuisance, in which case the connection
is made obligatory.
All sewer connections are put in by licensed sewer builders,
who receive a yearly license to do such work. There were 104
persons licensed to put in sewer connections and 131 licensed
plumbers in 1897.
One dollar and fifty ($1.50) cents is paid to the City by the
sewer builder for each permit taken out, and is used to defray, in
part, the cost of inspection, but it is insufficient for this purpose,
and the City is at an annual loss for inspecting these connections.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 52S
rice should be $3 for eacb permit, the same as when the or-
:^ was first passed. The City should then do the puddling
trenches. This puddling is now imperfectly done by the
builder, or often not done at all, and is thereafter a source
)lic complaint, and also serious complaint from the paving
ictor, who must guarantee the pavement he afterwards lays
t. All water connections are in charge of the Water Works
tment.
L careful examination of each lot of the 36 streets thereafter
paved showed that 5,256 connections, both sewer and water,
required to accommodate the property on these streets. Of
imber required only 3,657 connections were found already
ce, requiring 1,599 new ones to be carried to the curb line.
property owners put in 1,559 of these connections and
ad 40 to go delinquent, being a little more than 2j^ per
of the number to be put in. These were put in by the City
he expense charged against the owners. This work is in
e of the Notice Clerk, and all work is done under his super-
Phe Permit Clerk issued 3,184 permits for house sewer con-
)ns of all kinds during the year : 2,678 of these permits
for new connections and 506 for repairs of old connections
xtension of others from curb line to property ; 907 of the
iewer connections put in were ordered in to the curb line by
ity in advance of paving. Of the remaining 1,790 volun-
:onnections put in by the owners, only 75, or a little more
4 per cent., were put in where pavement bad to be dis-
d. This shows the wisdom of requiring all connections to
it in to curb line before pavements are put down.
\11 of the above work, except connections ordered to curb
was in charge of the Permit Clerk and done under his super-
it.
4.11 connections are put in under the City's supervision as to
lanner of doing work, depth of sewer, grade and alignment,
1 at curb, location where connection enters the lot, size of
ection, and as to whether it was made with the registered
r junction for such lot. or whether a new opening had to be
i in the sewer, all of which is reported to the office and proper
es made.
624 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
All repairs to pavements taken up to put in sewer and water
connections are made by the City and the expense charged directly
to the sewer builder or plumber, and by them to the property
owner for whom the work was done.
Previous to last year these charges were made after the work
was done, and were often very diflScult to collect and quite often
were never paid, resulting in a loss of many hundred of dollars to
the city.
Followinga suggestion made in my former report, an ordinance
was passed by the Council in March, 1896, requiring payment in
advance of the estimated cost of the pavement to be relaid, based
on a schedule fixed by the Director of Public Works.
FRONTAGE AND OWNERSHIP MAPS.
Tracing and blue print maps for street improvements were
made by the Draughting Department for 185 streets, aggregating
50.26 miles.
These maps show frontages and owner's names, for use in
the City Clerk's and Auditor's departments in serving notices of
proposed improvements and making up assessment sheets for the
same. Other maps showing frontages only are made for the Sewer
Department for sewer plans to be presented to the Board of Con-
trol for adoption.
ELECTRIC SUBWAYS AND CONDUITS.
Under the authority of Section 1090 of the Codified Ordi-
nances of the city, and of said section as amended August 24,
1896, a large amount of electrical conduit work has been done
during the year.
Under the provisions of said amended section, all electric
wires now in use in all of the main thoroughfares in the down-
town district, are ordered placed underground within i to 4 years,
as in each case specified.
The Western Union Telegraph Company has, during the
year 1897, constructed 1,822 lineal feet of subways or conduits,
and has placed therein 3,322 feet of wrought iron pipe, making a
total of 8,877 f'Ect of conduit, and 18,955 feet of pipe in the City.
ENGINEER'S REPORT. 525

CONCLUSION.
he following 22 tables will give you in detail the work of
veral di\-isions of the Department. The vast amount of
e work which requires the time and energy of the office
is not and cannot be shown in the tables, and only those
ike yourself, frequent this ofBce can well appreciate the
it and extent of this unclassified work.
a conclusion, I desire to express to you my appreciation of
rbearance and kindness extended to me and my Department
i and by Deputy Director W. P. Chard, in the discharge of
Ecial duties.

Report of the Inspector of Gas.
628 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
Report of Inspector of Gas.
Hon. George R, Warden, Director of Public Works:
I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Inspector
of Gas, for the year 1897.
During the year, some apparatus has been purchased and the
municipal gas laboratory with a few additional pieces of apparatus
will be complete.
The City Ordinance, No. 2632, reads: It shall be the duty of
the Inspector of Gas to make semi- weekly photometric and other
tests of such gas, and to keep a record of the pressure, quality
and candle power of the same.
The following determinations and tests are made in the
examination of gas, candle power, quantity of sulphur and
ammonia, percentages of carbon dioxide, illuminants, oxygen,
carbon monoxide hydrogen, methane and nitrogen.
CANDLE POWER.
The gas furnished to the consumers of Cleveland, must not
be of less than 18 candle light power i. e., of such a quality, that
a burner consuming 5 feet thereof, per hour, at a pressure not
exceeding ^^ of an inch, at the photometric burner shall give a
light of not less than 18 standard sperm candles, each consuming
126 grains of sperm per hour.
The test for candle power shall be [made at places not more
than one mile distant from the gas works.

INSPECTOR OF GAS. 631
SULPHUR IN THE GAS.
Sulphur is considered an impurity of gas and is therefore
reduced to as low a percentage as possible by the gas companies.
The quantity of sulphur is limited in many cities to 20 grains
per ICO cubic feet, but Cleveland has not set any limit.
For the determination of sulphur the Drehscmidt method is
used.
This method with an absorption tube for the air supply con-
taining an oxidizing liquid can be said to be the nearest to per-
fection of any method. It is simple, requires but little attention
and does not generate an excessive quantity of heat.
The method used in England is the Referee's method, which
is crude and does not according to many experts who have
thoroughly examined it, determine all the sulphur.
The compound of sulphur, known as hydrogen sulphide, is
detected by placing a strip of paper moistened with lead acetate
in the gas stream issuing from a burner tip for a minute.
A coloration proves the presence of hydrogen sulphide. If
this simple test does not show its presence it is considered as
being removed.
Sulphur exists in Cleveland gas mostly in the form of
sulphides of the hydro-carbons.

AMMONIA COxMPOUNDS.
Ammonia is considered an impurity of gas and has for this
reason been determined semi- weekly.
If the gas is not washed thoroughly ammonia is always
found in considerable quantities.
The quantity of ammonia allowed in the gas in diflferent
cities varies from 2 to 16 grains per 100 cubic feet.
As ammonia has a market value and its removal is compara-
tively easy, the quantity of ammonia found is always below the
lowest standard, i. e., 2 grains of ammonia per 100 cubic feet
of gas.

CHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF THE GAS.
A complete analysis of the gas manufactured by the Cleve-
land Gas Light Company has been made semi-weekly.
A very fair idea of the quality of a gas can be gained from
a chemical analysis.
The illuminants comprise the light-giving portions of the
gas.
Carbon monoxide gives to water gas its poisonous properties
but in coal gas it exists in much smaller percentage.
A large quantity of oxygen, together with a high percent-
age of nitrogen indicates the presence of air in the gas.
Nitrogen in well-managed gas works is invariably kept be-
low 6%.

VAPOR BURNERS.
Fifty street vapor burners are tested each month to deter-
mine the candle power of the burners for that month. 1* he
contract with the lighting company specifies that the average
candle power of the 50 burners tested must be equal to that of
14 standard sperm candles and for every candle power less than
14 a 6% deduction is made in the compensation received by the
company. The following table shows the results of the monthly
tests:

METER INSPECTION.
Upon the written application of any consumer of gas made
to the Director of Public Works and accompanied by an inspec-
tion fee of $1, the meter is disconnected and taken to the lab-
oratory of the Inspector to be tested.
The consumer is supplied with another meter during the
time required for the inspection.
If the meter, upon inspection, shall be found fast or that it
registers a greater volume of gas than actually passes it the in-
spection fee is returned to the person making the application.
If the meter is found to register no greater volume of gas
than passes it, the gas company shall receive 50 cents of the fee
for disconnecting and re-setting the meter, and the other 50
cents shall be paid into the City Treasury.
Five meters have been tested during the year with the fol-
lowing results:
Correct, 1.8% slow; 2% slow; 1% slow; .35% fast.
INSPECTOR OF GAS. 643
PRESSURE ON STREET MAINS.
The pressure on the street mains on both sides of the river
is recorded constantly.
The pressure on the east side of the river varies from i . i to
1.5 inches during the day, and from 1.4 to 1.7 at night.
On the west side of the river the pressure during the day
varies from 1.6 to 2 inches, and during the night from 2 to 2.5
inches. 1
The pressure is measured by a pressure register corrected
by a siphon pressure gauge.
In the determinations of sulphur made in the city labora-
tory the average for the year is above 20 grains per 100 cubic
feet of gas.
It is probable that the gas at the City Hall comes mainly
from Gas Works No. i on Front street.
I have found it inconvenient and somewhat inaccurate to
make a determination or any tests of gas on a sample of gas
which has been carried in tanks to the laboratory and there
tested.
To determine the sulphur in the gas, for instance, from
Works No. 2, situated at the foot of Willson avenue, it would be
necessary to carry the sulphur apparatus to the place selected
and there make the determination of sulphur.
Apparatus for doing gas work of any kind is always expen-
sive and is easily broken, and it follows that in order to do reli-
able analyses of gas from any gas works we should have appara-
tus permanently located near each works.
To cover the city satisfactorily several additional pieces of
apparatus are absolutely necessary, and I cannot recommend too
strongly that the needed apparatus be purchased soon.
Respectfully submitted,
CHAS. G. SNYDER,
lytspecior of Gas. ^

REPORT
OF THE
Director of the Department of Police
OF TH«
CITY OF CLEVELAND.
Ci^KVEivAND, January r, 1898.
To the Honorable Robert E, McKisson, Mayor:
Sir : — In accordance with law, I have the honor to submit
herewith my Annual Report of the Department of Police, in-
cluding the Divisions of Police and Public Health, Markets,
Hay Weighers and City Sealer, and the condition of the several
ftfnds and accounts for the year ending December 31, 1897.
The reports of the heads of the various divisions will give
in detail the condition of such divisions.
The total expenditures of the Division of Police during the
year, as shown in detail by the report of the Secretary of Police
liereto appended, were $397,922.55, of which sum $363,746.56
^was paid for salaries of the Force and $1,260.00 for the pound-
keepers; $2,592.67 for new buildings; $1,164.22 for furniture;
^864.90 for horses ; $3,524.04 for horse feed, shoeing, wagons and
harness; $1,908.27 for patrol service and apparatus; $3,001.29
for repairs to buildings and $19,860.60 for all other expenditures
of the Departments, as rent, interest, stationery and office sup-
plies, fuel, light, water, miscellaneous supplies, telegrams, secret
service, equipments, and other incidental expenses.
The amount thus expended was paid as follows :
From the Police Fund $392,218 15
From the Contingent Fund 3.241 26
From the Police Court Fund 2,463 14
Total $397,922 55
660 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
The total number of arrests made was 14,481, against 13,491
for the previous year, being an increase of 990.
By authority of the Council the Force has been increased,
on January 5th, 1897, by the appointment of twenty additional
Patrolmen, one Captain and two Lieutenants ; twenty-nine vacan-
cies of Patrolmen, caused by death, resignations, dismissals and
retirement were filled.
During the year the following promotions were made:
Seven Patrolmen were promoted to Sergeants, and one detailed
as Detective ; three Sergeants were promoted to Lieutenants, and
one detailed as Detective ; one Lieutenant as Captain.
One Patrolmen died, four Patrolmen resigned, six Patrolmen
were dismissed from the Force and one Lieutenant, one Detective
three Sergeants and four Patrolmen were retired from active
service and were placed on the Police Pension Roll.
Complaints and charges were preferred against thirty-seven
officers for violation of the following rules : Neglect of duty, 21 ;
intoxication while on duty, 2; intoxication while off duty, 4;
conduct unbecoming an officer, 4 ; unnecessary violence to pris-
oners, 3 ; giving away police secrets, i ; feigning sickness, i, aud
absence without leave, i.
The disposition of the above charges was as follows: Ac-
quitted, 3 ; resigned pending charges, 2 ; reprimanded, 3 ; fined
$5.00, 2 ; fined $10.00, 14; fined $20.00, i ; fined $25.00, 5; and
discharged from the Force, 6.
Again your attention is called to the fact that the efficiency
of the Force is greatly impaired for want of more patrolmen,
and an increase of at least one hundred is an imperative neces-
sity. This number will no more than meet the just and reason-
able demand of citizens in various parts of the city for better
police protection.
I would also recommend the extension of the Police Patrol
System in the Third and Fourth Districts and the erection and
equipment of two additional Patrol Stations in the Third and
Fifth Police Precincts.
Your attention is respectfully called to the reports herewith
submitted of the Superintendent of Police, containing much
valuable statistical information, Secretary of Police as to the
financial matters and changes in the Force, and of the heads of
DEPARTMENT OF POLICE. ^1
the several branches of the Department, which contain detailed
statements of the performance of the duties, which they have
in charge respectively.
In conclusion I desire to express my satisfaction and appre- .
ciation of the conscientious and efficient services rendered by the
officers and men of the Force in the discharge of their duties.
Very respectfully,
E. A. ABBOTT,
Director of Police,
Report of the Secretary of Police.
Capt. E, A. Abbott^ Director of Police :
Sir : — I herewith submit the following report of the Re-
sources and Disburseinents of the several funds, also the different
chani^es in the Force for the year ending December 31, 1897.

Report of the Superintendent of Police.
Cleveland, O., January ist, 1898.
To Capt, E. A, Abbott y Director of Police :
Sir : — I have the honor to submit herewith the annual report
of the Police Department for the fiscal year ending December
31st, 1897, together with a few suggestions to which reference at
this time may not be deemed improper.
When it is taken into consideration that this city has an area
of nearly 32 square miles of territory, with a large percentage of
its population scattered, and 565 miles of streets to be guarded
and patrolled, that our present force is inadequate to give proper
protection to life and property of our citizens must be apparent
to any person, who will take time to consider the subject.
Demands are constantly being made for increased police pro-
tection by citizens living in the outskirts of the city, as well as
manufacturers and business firms through the central portion
and along the river ; they are taxpayers and these demands are
reasonable and should be complied with, but this can only be
done by an increase of the force. Crime grows in cities a^ the
population increases ; Cleveland is no exception in this matter.
An increase of the force would be the greatest boon the Council
could bestow on the citizens whom they represent.
The service of the Detective Department under the super-
vision of Capt. J. J. lyohrer must be classed as excellent. They
have arrested and prosecuted many noted criminals and per-
formed a large amount of work considering the smallness of
their force.
The records of the past year show that active and persistent
work has been done by the entire force, and at no time has the
criminal element been permitted to gain the slightest hold.
y^ DEPARTMENT OP POLICE.
Known thieves, crooks and suspicious characters have been and
will be arrested at the first opportunity, and the driving of
habitual vagrants out of the city, or sending them to the Work-
house has met with gratifying success. This class of criminals
have learned that this city is not a suitable place for them to
follow their vocation.
In conclusion, would say that the year just closed has been
a creditable one to the Department. The conduct of the officers
and patrolmen, as a rule, has been excellent. Often harsh criti-
cism is made, when if the true facts were known they would be
commended:
The poor and helpless in this city always find a friend in the
policemen.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. E. CORNER,
Superintendent of Police^

Report of Police Patrol Service.
January ist, 1898.
Capt, E, A, Abbott^ Director of Police :
Sir : — The following report of the workings of the Police
Patrol Service for the year ending December 31st, 1897, is here-
with respectfully submitted.
J. MURPHY,
Superintendent Patrol Service.
This branch of service comprises one fully equipped operat-
ing room at the Central Police Station, one complete operating
switchboard each at the Sixth and Tenth Precinct Stations, six
patrol wagons, five patrol stations, four horses in each station, 79
patrol boxes, of the interstate system, and 22 patrol boxes of the
Gamewell system, and 20 boxes of the National system, 87 tele-
phones, and 420 miles of wire ; the whole requiring the service of
one superintendent, three operators and two linemen, four of
whom are patrolmen, and six patrolmen at each patrol station,
two of them are detailed as drivers at each station.
During the year several changes were made in our telephone
department; additions, removals, etc., requiring more under-
ground cable wires. We are now using all our underground
cable and two wires of the Cleveland Telephone Co. If any
addition to our system is made during the coming year, it will be
absolutely necessary to add to our underground system.

Report of the Health Officer.
Cleveland, O., January i, 1898.
Hon. E, A, Abbott y Director of Police :
•
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to herewith submit to you the
report of the Public Health Division of the Department of Police
for 1897. During the past year every possible effort has been
made to keep the expenditures of this Division to the lowest
possible limit consistent with the eflBcient administration of af-
fairs. The Secretary's report will show the total disbursements
of the year to be $39,761.66, expended in the following manner:
For general purposes, $36,850.95 ; for the removal of garbage,
$2,154.46 ; for bath house purposes; $39.37 ; for Plumbers Exam-
ining Board, $158.33 ; for Food Inspector's oflSce, $504.55 ; making
a total of $39,761.66, leaving a balance on hand January i, 1898)
of $2,316.89. The total expense account for the year 1897 was
$334.06 less than for the year 1896.
DEATH STATISTICS.
The total number of deaths for the year 1897 was 5,007. The
death rate is estimated on a population of 350,000, which is an
increase of 20,000 over the estimated population of 1896. During
the year 1896 4,859 persons of Cleveland died, showing an in-
crease in the number of deaths for 1897 of 148 over those of 1896,
yet it is with a great deal of satisfaction that I am able to report
to you that the death rate has been reduced from 14.71 per 1,000
for 1896 to 14.30 per 1,000 for 1897.
748 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
BIRTH STATISTICS.
The total number of births reported to this Division for the
year 1897 was was 9,135, an increase over those reported for 1896

tive number of births for each month.
CONTAGIOUS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
During the past year this Division has been enforcing^ the
laws pertaining to cpntagious and infectious diseases, even more
vigorously than during the year 1896. I have made an extraor-
dinary effort to secure the co-operation of the physicians and
midwives of our city in reporting cases of contagious and infecti-
ous diseases, and am pleased to state that we are now receiving a
much more satisfactory return than heretofore. During the year
1897 there was reported to this oflSce 256 cases of Typhoid Fever
with 73 deaths from the same cause ; 379 cases of Scarlet Fever
with 20 deaths from the same cause ; 456 cases of Diphtheria
with 80 deaths from the same cause ; 93 cases of Membranous
Croup with 51 deaths from the same cause ; 1958 cases of Measles
with 8 deaths from the same cause; 16 cases of Erysipelas with
9 deaths from the same cause ; 3 cases of Puerperal Fever re-
ported with 5 deaths from the same cause ; 122 cases of Whoop-
ing Cough with 25 deaths from the same cause; 37 cases of
Chicken Pox with no deaths.
The above number of cases of contagious diseases, in my
judgment is approximately correct with the exception of measles.
I feel safe in stating that not more than one half of the cases of
measles in our city have been reported to this office. This is due
to the fact that this disease has been of a rather mild order, and
the people did not consider it necessary to call in a physician,
Consequently the cases were not reported ^s required by ordinance.
I wish at this point to express my appreciation of the man-
ner in which the school authorities are co-operating with our
Division. Every possible effort has been made by the Director
HEALTH DIVISION. 74^
and Superintendent of Schools to establish such regulations as
have been suggested for protecting the school children from ex-
posure to contagion.
Under this head I might also say that the Division has fur-
nished gratuitously the administration of anti-toxin to the indi-
gent poor of our city with most satisfactory results. Where the
District Physicians have been able to attend cases of Diphtheria
within 36 hours after the development of symptoms there has not
been a single case of death when anti-toxin was administered.
BATH HOUSES.
The year 1897 ^^ been one of decided success for the public
bath houses. The number of bathers at the Kirtland street free
public bath house was estimated at 20,000. The number of
bathers at the Edgewater free public bath house was estimated
at 34,000. The service rendered by the bath house keepers to
the people using these popular resorts has been generally satis-
factory. I take pleasure in reporting to you that there has not
been a single accident at either of these places. The immense
patronage of these two public bath houses has demonstrated
that the free public bath operated by the city is very popular
and useful.
SMOKE.
This division has been active during the past twelve months
in attempting to enforce the anti-smoke ordinance. We made
three arrests under this ordinance, the cases being brought to
trial in the Police Court.
The Arcade company was made the principal defendant in
these. The test case was on trial for a period of five months, at
the end of which the Police Judge declared the ordinance uncon-
stitutional. At the present time we are without an ordinance to
prohibit manufacturers from permitting smoke and smut to be
scattered broadcast over the city. A member of the Council has
introduced a new ordinance, however, which, we trust, will meet
all objections of the Court and place the division in a position to
proceed with the suppression of this nuisance, thereby saving
thousands of dollars annually to citizens and merchants.
750 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
GARBAGE.
It is with much satisfaction that I report to you that a con-
tract has been awarded for the collection and disposal of the
garbage and refuse of our city. Under the terms of the contract
the new system is to be ready for operation about the middle of
April. This subject is one which will require a great deal of
careful attention by the Public Health Division in the future.
An ordinance has been introduced regulating the collection of
garbage, which I think will be satisfactory to the people and will
greatly improve the general sanitary condition of our city, at the
same time eliminating from our water supply a prolific source of
contamination. This subject has been under consideration by
the city for a great many years, and the citizens are to be con-
gratulated on its final disposition.
PLUMBING INSPECTOR'S DEPARTMENT.
This section of our division is now better equipped for hand-
ling the work submitted to it than ever before. We have been
fortunate in securing the appointment of two additional plumbing
inspectors, enabling the force to perform its work without delay
and annoyance to plumbers. The number of jobs and character
of work performed by the Plumbing Inspector and his assistants
are made known in the table, under this head.
GENERAL.
The management of the Food Inspector's office has continued
to be most eflScient. The character of the work performed in this
department is varied and of unquestioned importance. It would
be well if we had a broader law, permitting the Food Inspector a
wider range of investigation and extended jurisdiction. The laws
pertaining to the milk inspection are wholly inadequate, in that
they do not permit an inspection of the dairy supplying milk to
the city, and do not give the Health Division su£Scient power for
bringing prosecutions against persons furnishing the city an in-
ferior quality of milk.
HEALTH DIVISION. 751
The District Physicians merit the highest commendation for
the faithful manner in which they have performed their work.
All persons applying to them for professional service have been
given the closest possible attention and furnished gratuitously
with medicine. Some of our districts are entirely too large and
relief should be given by the appointment of additional physi-
cians. Some of the district physicians have been required to
make as many as 275 calls per month. I would earnestly recom-
mend the appointment of four additional district physicians, in
order to meet the demands made upon the Division.
For several years the subject of establishing a city Depart-
ment of Bacteriology has been agitated by the various medical
societies of our city. This question is one which I believe should
receive most earnest consideration by the City Council in order
that provisions may be made whereby such a department may be
created at an an early date. The City of Cleveland is the only
large city of the United States which does not possess such a
Laboratory. Such an institution would be of inestimable value
in rapidly determining the character of contagious and infectious
diseases, thereby permitting a quarantine to be quickly estab-
lished in cases of contagion or infection. For the purpose of in-
forming myself on this subject I have corresponded with the
Health Authorities of fifteen of the largest cities of the United
States inquiring if they had such a department in their city. I
have received affirmative answers in each case so that today our
city stands alone among the leading cities of the country in this
line of scientific work.
I would earnestly request that you use every endeavor to se-
cure for our City the establishment of a Department of Bacteri-
logy which I am confident will more than compensate for the
necessary outlay by the additional safeguards it will place about
the people.
In conclusion I desire to express my gratitute and apprecia-
tion for courtesies extended by yourself and for assistance ren-
dered by the employes of the Public Health Division.
I have the honor to remain,
Yours very truly,
J. t. HESS, M.D.,
Health Officer,

Report of Smoke Inspector.
January 17TH, 1898.
Dr, J, L. HesSy Health Officer :
Sir : — I herewith present report of work done by me in this
Department. The prevention of smoke to comply with the City
Ordinance now in force is no longer a problem. If there are
those who maintain smoke cannot be prevented to such an ex-
tent as to be inoffense they must be willfully blind. There are
four ways in which smoke may be prevented as follows :
I St. Automatic stokers for feeding the coal into the furnace
steadily. This plan shows good results both as regards saving of
fuel and prevention of smoke, but will hardly come into general
use on account of the cost.
2d. Various devices in the steam jet line while a number of
them are new some are showing very good results, but are liable
to bum out or get displaced.
3d. Coking chambers and admitting air to the coals through
openings in front or sides of the fire box and usually by the aid
of steam jets.
4th. Change of fuel, that is by the use of Hard Coal, Coke,
Petroleum Coke or Pocahontas Coal. Either one of these kinds
of fuel will in my judgment comply with the Ordinance
Number of notices served during the year, 176; under the
new Ordinance total, 340 ; visits made to merchants and manu-
facturers, 504 ; complaints attended to, 42 ; Murphy stokers put
in, 4; Brightman stokers, 10; Ohlstrom stokers, 2; Wyman

HEALTH DIVISION. 779
Report of Plumbing and Sewer Inspector.
Dr, J, L. Hess, Health Officer :
Dear Sir : — As Inspector of Plumbing and Sewers, I have
the honor to submit to you my annual report for the year ending
December 31, 1897.
In the past year we have issued five thousand four hundred
and thirty-nine (5,439) permits for plumbing and sewering. Of
that number two thousand eight hundred and ninety-three (2,893)
were for plumbing ; two thousand one hundred and nine (2,109)
were for sewering ; four hundred and thirty-seven (437) were for
extensions and repairs.
Final inspections have been made upon nine hundred and
sixty-six (966) plumbing jobs in new houses and upon one thous-
and three hundred and thirty-two (1,332) plumbing jobs in old*
houses, making a total inspection of two thousand two hundred
and ninety-eight (2,298) plumbing jobs; also final inspections of
two thousand six hundred and seventy six (2,676) water closets
which have been placed upon premises.
Final inspections have been made upon two thousand one
hundred and seveuty-nine (2,179) sewer jobs, nine hundred and
fifty-one (951) being in new houses, one thousand two hun-
dred and twenty-eight (1,228) in old houses.
During the past year we have made four thousand eight
hundred and thirty-six (4,836) inspection visits of plumbing and
two thousand four hundred and forty-four (2,444) o^ sewering,
making a total of seven thousand two hundred and eighty (7,280)
inspection visits.
We have found three hundred and twenty-two (322) defective
plumbing jobs and one hundred and seventeen (117) defective
780 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
I sewer jobs, making a total of four hundred and thirty-nine (439)
defective jobs found by our inspector.
I found it necessary to have delivered to the plumbers and
sewer builders of the city sixty-nine (69) notices, notifying them
of defective work and other matters in regard to the trade.
Eight hundred and three (803) special examinations of
plumbing and house drainage were made by the request of your-
self and interested persons. In many cases alterations and re-
pairs have been made as the result of these inspections, great
care and time being required to make these inspections.
Thanking you for the interest you have taken in our depart-
ment, I remain,
Very respectfully,
BERT ROBINSON,
Inspector of Plumbing and Sewers,
HEALTH DIVISION. 781
Report of Food Inspector.
Dr, /. L, Hess, Health Officer:
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to submit, for your consider-
ation, the annual report of this oflSce, for the fiscal year ending
December 31st, 1897.
During the year just past, considerable time and money
have been spent, in order to put the laboratory in proper shape,
for the work which we are called upon to do. The room in which
the laboratory is situated has been thoroughly renovated, painted
and cleaned, its arrangement changed to better faciUtate the
work, new apparatus has been obtained, and many improvements
made in different ways. All things now being in proper shape
for the coming year, and we hope to be able to make an excel-
lent showing of the work done by this oflSce.
There is no doubt but that we are in need of many things
in the line of chemicals and apparatus, which would add to the
efficiency of our work, but as our appropriation is small, (five
hundred dollars), we can only hope to add a little at a time, as
most of the money is needed for the current expenses of the
laboratory.
The Health Division has been very kind in aiding us in
many ways to make this branch of its work what it ought to be,
and we feel that more than usual interest has been shown in our
work, both by that Division and by those associated with mj'self
in the laboratory.
I wish to make special mention of the good work done and
interest shown in that work, by Mr. T. B. Schultze, my assist-
ant, and of the constant care and attention given at all times to
the laboratory and his work therein by Mr. J. J. Grayell.
782 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
The work has been carried along different lines than here-
tofore, from the fact we have not only looked after the purity
of the food from a chemical standpoint, but have visited and in-
spected many places where food is prepared, stored and sold, in
order to see that proper sanitary conditions existed, and that
proper care was exercised at all times to insure healthful and
clean food, this being to my mind of equal importance to that of
adulteration.
Great care has been taken that all analyses made should be
accurate, the methods used being for the most part those em-
ployed by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Division of
Chemistry. The records of all work done are kept on file, with
analysis, number, date, and from whom obtained, by whom sold,
address of both parties, the reason of complaint and the results
obtained.
MILK.
There are one thousand seven hundred and forty-three
(1,743) licensed milk dealers in the City of Cleveland, this num-
ber including wagons, stores and milk depots, the sale of milk
being governed by State Laws, passed and taking effect on
April loth, 1889, amended June 30th, 1891, (O. L. Vol. 86, Page
229), and also by City Ordinances, (Sec. 550-555).
No person is allowed to sell milk, whether the sale is to take
place from wagon or store, unless he or she has a permit, said
permit being issued by the Health Division. A record of all
permits issued is kept by that Division, great care being taken
to see that no one is allowed to sell milk unless they have a per-
mit. All wagons must be numbered and the owner's name
placed thereon, and any can containing milk from which the
cream or any part thereof has been taken, must be marked in
uncondensed gothic letters, not less than one (i) inch in length,
"skimmed milk."
During the past year five thousand four hundred and thirty-
eight (5,438) samples have been collected, and although this
number is not large, nor nearly so many as ought to be taken
in a city as large as Cleveland, yet when it is taken into consid-
eration that this number has been taken by one man. and he
with no other way of getting to different points in the city ex-
cept the street cars or walking, it is not a bad showing.
HEALTH DIVISION. 783
The samples are collected in half-pint bottles, each numbered,
and the name and address of the dealer are taken, also the name
and address of the producer. The samples are then brought to the
laboratory and an analysis made, the analyist not knowing from
whom the milk was obtained, being governed only by the analy-
sis number. After the analysis is made, all samples found be-
low the standard, the "standard" being as provided by the State
Law, passed and amended as given in the sections above, that is
that milk is not to contain more than 88 % of watery fluid, or to
contain .less than 12% solids, nor (not) less than % of which
must be fat, except during the months of May and June, when
milk containing less than 11 >^ % of milk solids shall be deemed
to be not of a good quality, are noted and notices sent to the
milkman from whom the milk was obtained, asking him to call
at this office, and warning him of having such milk in his possess-
ion ; upon calling he is told which of his samples Jwas found to
be below the standard, the name of the producer, the require-
ments of the law, and also that if any milk upon his wagon is
found in like condition again, that he will be liable to prosecu-
tion. Most of the milkmen have shown a desire to sell only the
best milk, and for the most part have done their best to conform
to the law, and have shown an interest in the work we are doing
in this line. The samples of milk are taken before the milkmen
start out on their routes, that is they are taken either as they
come into the city limits, or at the depots as the cans are taken
from the trains. No dealer can tell when or where the samples
are to be taken, so that no chance is given to make the milk
any better at one time than another ; and we thus know the true
condition of the milk at all times. The cans and wagons are
thoroughly inspected to see that they are in proper condition,
that dippers are used, and that the milk is thoroughly stirred be-
fore dipping, in order that the last customers may obtain just as
good milk as the first.
Very little, if any, coloring matter or preservative is used by
any o\ the milk dealers of this city. The greatest evil we have
to contend with being the removal of part of the cream. This
may be done by the farmer before sending the milk, by the train
men while the milk is en route, or by the milkman, the latter be-
ing held responsible for the same. We have done and are doing
^^** DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
our best to stop this practice, and have met with success in a re-
markable degree, as is shown by comparison with last year's
report.
Although the percentage of milks given in the table following,
as below the standard may seem high, yet it must be remembered
that the number given includes all those which did not conform
to the State law in every particular, and be that deficiency ever
so small it has been given in this number. There is no doubt
but that the greatest source of danger, as far as disease is con-
cerned, arising from the use of milk, lies in the dairy. The milk
brought into this city is brought from a large and wide-spread
territory, and from a large number of dairies. To visit all these,
look into their sanitary condition as to stables, yards, how and
where the milk is kept, the condition of the cans and health of
the cattle, would require one man*s constant attention and time,
a large amount of travel and great expense ; but there is no doubt
but that it ought to be done, for any chemical analysis, be it ever
so careful and complete, will not show many points which, to my
mind, are of far greater importance than the amount of fat and
total solids.
It is a well-known fact that there is no food so liable to take
up odors and disease germs as milk, and where we find filth we
are liable to find both of these. There is then much need that
some work should be done to ascertain the condition of the
dairies sending milk into our city. Should this line of work be
taken up. then if the dairies are not found in good condition,
they can be prohibited from sending their milk into the city,
until all things about the same are in proper condition.
About one-seventh of the milk sold in the city is put up in
bottles, also a large amount of cream, this method being consid-
ered to be far superior to that of the can and dipper.
We have a pasteurized milk company, who have had a liberal
patronage, and have given entire satisfaction. A visit was made
to the plant, and everything found to be in prime condition, with
every care taken as to cleanliness, the place having cement floors
and hot and cold water attachments.
The number of samples of milk brought into the laboratory
for examination, on account of various complaints, has been
sixty-two (62), and where any of these samples have been found

to be below the standard, or to contain any foreign substance,
the matter has been fully investigated and proper steps taken to
punish the offender.
In this connection it should be said that Sanftary Patrolman
Whitman deserves a large amount of praise for his faithfulness
in collecting all the milk samples during the past year, and for
his untiring efforts in this line, as well as for his interest in all
other work in and about the office.
The following table, given below, shows the number of sam-
ples collected each month during the year, the number of these
which were below the standard, the number of adulterations in
that number, the average specific gravity, fats and solids, for
each month, also the numbers and percentages for the year.

the fact that the '* Babcock Tester " was broken, and a new one
had to be made.
73(5 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE,
MILK DEPOTS.
During the year four hundred and thirteen (413) visits have
been made to milk depots, attention having been given to the
condition of the rooms, the vats in which the milk was kept, the
cans and utensils used in and about the milk, in fact, all points
* that pertained to the sanitary condition of the place, and the
proper handling of the milk. Samples of the milk for analysis
were also taken from the cans in the depot at the time of call-
ing, and where any objectionable or unsanitary conditions were
found to exist in or about the depot, an order was left with the
proprietor to attend to the same ; a reasonable length of time
being given for its correction, after the time had elapsed, a sec-
ond visit was made to see that all things had been put in proper
and sanitary condition. At this time the milk depots are all in
better shape than at the beginning of the year, and they will re-
ceive our constant attention.
A number of stores also sell milk ; of these one hundred and
fifty-seven (157) have been inspected, in the same manner as the
milk depots, and samples of milk taken from each.
BUTTER.
Many complaints have been made in this regard, and most
of them with reason, for large amounts of oleomargarine, or mix-
tures of oleomargarine and butter,have been sold fcr pure butter
in stores, at the markets and from wagons. The State Law is
very strict in this matter, and a number of prosecutions have
been made by the State during the past year. All samples
brought into this office have been given a thorough chemical
analysis, and where adulterations have been found, or oleomar-
garine has been sold for butter, we have done our best to make
a case against the dealer, but in this we have failed many times,
either because the parties bringing in the sample did not wish to
carry the case into court, or because the chain of evidence was
lacking in some point.
We have also found that unclean and rancid butter gives an-
other cause for complaint, and where the buyer has paid a rea-
sonable price and bought it for good, wholesome butter, we have
HEALTH DIVISION. ^^'^
gone to the dealer and explained the matter to him and asked
him to make the matter right with his customer, and in nearly
all cases satisfactory' arrangements have been made.
MEAT AND FISH MARKETS.
Many of the meat and fish markets of tlie City have re-
ceived our attention ; in these the "coolers" were given special
attention as to their construction, ventilation and cleanliness,
relative position of the meat and the ice, and the condition of
the meat therein, the location of scrap barrels, the condition of
drains and sewers in and about the place, to see if they were in
working order ; and, where the existing conditions necessary to
health were not found, an order was left for its immediate
remedy.
GROCERIES.
Many stores were visited, in order that we might learn their
condition, the manner in which the goods were stored, and in
what way they disposed of their refuse. Samples of various
kinds were taken, more particularly sugars, white and brown.
The samples were brought to the laboratory and analyses made.
Much agitation has been raised along this line during the past
year by the State Food Commissioner. We have found no sugars
that contained any deleterious matter of any kind, or any adul-
teration ; some were slightly blued with ultramarine, but, as this
is perfectly harmless, and the quantity so very small that it could
not be called an adulteration, nothing was done in the way of
prosecutions by the Department.
ICE CREAM MANUFACTORIES.
All the factories where ice cream is made were visited, the
surroundings of the building and room in which the ice cream
was . made were given a thorough examination, the cooler in
which the milk and cream were kept before being made up, the
cans in which the cream was made, the ice used and where ob-
tained, these points were all noted. Where unsanitary condi-
tions existed as to place or manner of handling the ice cream, an
order to correct same was given, and a second visit made to see
that the order had been carried out.
788 DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
Samples of all coloring matters used in the coloring of tlie
ice cream were taken and submitted to an analysis, to ascertain
if any ingredient was used that was detrimental to health ; found
that in one color used in making strawberry ice cream, and being
carmen red, that large amounts of ammonia were present ; this
was used by five manufacturers. An order was sent to each to
stop its use at once, and we have had no further trouble from
this source.
Most of the places were found in good shape, care being
taken to make the best article and observe cleanliness, as well as
to have the room and surroundings in a sanitary condition.
SODA FOUNTAINS.
•
The soda fountain of the past has been a menace to public
health. Fruit juices and some syrups contain free acids. These
were placed in metallic cups within the fountain, the acid acting
upon the metal, producing poisonous compounds. Of course, the
consumer got very small quantities of this poison at a time, but
continued use of the same might cause serious results. More-
over, various preservatives, such as salicylic, tartaric and boracic
acids have been and are used in preserving the syrups and fruit
juices. At the time the inspection was made, very few fountains
had the metal in contact with the syrups, as the cups were porce-
lain lined, and most of the fruit juices were kept on the counter
in glass or porcelain dishes. Samples of all the syrups and fruit
juices were taken and analyzed for preservatives and colorings of
an injurious nature; of these only three were found to contain
anything injurious, or against the law, that being salicylic add,
it being used as a preser\'^ative. Notices were sent to those using
it, and no more was used the remainder of the season, so far as
we were able to ascertain.
RESTAURANTS.
All the restaurants in the central part of the city and many
of those located in other parts have been inspected ; particular
attention having been given to the kitchens, as to how^ the cook-
ing was done, the materials used, the location of the ice boxes
HEALTH DIVISION. ^^g
and the care taken of them, also the cleanliness of all utensils
used, the location of the drains and sewers, and of the garbage
barrels, and how often emptied. Suggestions were made to the
proprietors in the way of bettering the condition of their places.
A second visit was made in a reasonable length of time to see
that our suggestions had been carried- out, and in case they had
not been, an order was sent them to attend to the matter at once.
At this time we find the restaurants in our citv to be in excel-
lent condition.
ICE AND ICE PONDS.
There are twenty-three (23) ice ponds in and outside the city
limits, from which ice was cut and sold in the city for domestic
or cooling purposes during the past winter. These have all been
inspected. The source of each stream running into the ponds
has been the starting point of investigation. All sources of con-
tamination along these streams and around the ponds, such as
the surrounding territorj^ from which the surface water was
drained, all sewers, out-houses, slaughter-houses, barns, private
drains, etc., were noted ; and sketches and complete reports of
these ponds will be found on file in this office. The majority of
these ponds are in very poor condition, being nothing more or
less than cess-pools, receiving the surface water from thickly
populated districts, and the sewerage as well. Moreover, many
of them are merely mud holes in the summer time, with barns,
slaughter-houses arid private houses upon their banks, receiving
constantly the filth from these ; and in the Fall of the year they
are dammed up to await the heavy rains; thus when the rains
do come they are filled with the surface washings of the sur-
rounding country, and receive as well the pollution from the
other sources. There is no doubt but that the cutting of ice
from any pond within the City Limits, for any purpose whatso-
ever, should be prohibited, as there is not one of them from
which good water could be obtained at any time during the year.
Skating is also permitted upon the ponds, and it is easy to see
that this is another source of the spreading of disease, and that
more filth is thus added to the ice.
790
DEPARTMENT OF POLICE.
During the last winter ice was cut from the lake, inside the
breakwater. We have analyzed various samples of water and
ice coming from different points on the lake front, and found it
to be foul in the extreme, and shall endeavor to prohibit all per-
sons from cutting ice from there for any purpose.
According to section 555-561 of the City Ordinances, ice has
been cut from these ponds and within the breakwater for "cool-
ing purposes only," and all persons having this ice for sale were
to mark their wagons with the words, "Ice for cooling purposes
only.'* In many cases this was done, but many did not so do,
and, even though we might feel sure that they were selling this
ice for domestic purposes, yet it was almost impossible to prove
that such was the case, they saying that the ice came from sorae
lake outside of the City, and to watch them the whole season
through is impossible.
Ice sold for cooling purposes is often misused by persons
buying the same, they not knowing the danger therein, and even
though the food may not come in direct contact with the ice, yet
the danger is not wholly obviated, as the refrigerators are kept
tightly closed, and foul odors, arising from the ice therein, are
taken up by the food, particularly, milk, butter and meat.
We have done our best to make comprehensive and complete
reports upon the condition and surroundings of all these ponds,
and hope that some decisive action may be taken to stop the cut-
ting of ice from these ponds for any purpose.
FILTERS.
An Extended examination as to the efficiency of various fil-
ters submitted to the Board of Education for supplying filtered
water to the schools of this City was undertaken by the Health
Department. This work was carried out in this ofl&ce, and the
following points were taken into consideration : the purity of the
water supplied, from a chemical and bacteriological standpoint ;
the amount of water supplied in a given length of time, method
of cleaning filter, its operation and construction. All filters were
given careful tests as to these points, and a report made out for
the purpose given above. Some of the filters tested were found
to be almost worthless, from the fact that, although the water
HEALTH DIVISION. 79^
after passing through the filter was cleared of a large proportion
of the suspended organic matter and sand, yet the harmful proper-
ties of the water, organic, inorganic matter and germs had re-
mained in the water. Most of the filters submitted were those
depending upon the passing of the water through sand, rock
or porcelain tubes. If these tubes were very open, that is, if the
pores were large, the water could pass through very easily, and
thus only the larger particles of suspended matter were removed,
and were carried by the force of the water far into the tube,
where no amount of washing could cleanse the tube properly ;
putrefaction soon took place, making such a filter worse than
none at all. The efficiency of a filter depends upon the density
of the tube, for although the water passes through slowly, yet, if
dense enough, it will remove all harmful matter and germs from
the water.
Another point, worthy of consideration in this connection,
is the cleansing of a filter ; if this is attended with a large
amount of labor, it will be neglected, and any filter ought to be
cleaned every day to keep it in a sanitary condition. Upon the
surface of the tube, or in the filter, if a tube is not used in the
filter, collects all the objectionable matter taken from the water ;
all water then passing through the filter must come in contact
with this, and the danger is made greater, rather than lessened,
as this soon becomes the breeding ground for germs. As the
care of the filters for the schools must of a necessity be left to
the janitors, the point of cleaning the filter was one of great im-
portance, for, if it was easily and quickly done, it stood to reason
that it would be attended to more as it ought.
Nothing has been done, so far as we are able to learn, in
the way of selecting any particular filter for the use of the
public schools.
Some of the work done by this Department during the
past year has been given above in detail. While many other
subjects have been given attention, they have not had special
mention, as they are of minor importance, and only such as come
in the usual course of work done by such a laboratory.

DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE. 813
Report of the Director of Fire Service.
City of Cleveland, Ohio, January ist, 1898.
To THE Hon. Robert E. McKisson,
Mayor of Cleveland^ Ohio.
Dear Sir : — In submitting to you the report of the Depart-
ment of Fire for the year ending December 31st, 1897, containing
the report of the Chief, Secretary, Superintendent of Machinery,
Chief Operator, Boiler and Building Inspectors, Examiner of
Engineers, City Electrician, Medical Officer, Department Veter-
inary and Fire Wardens, it will be useless for me to add anything
more than what is contained in these reports.
The Secretary's report exhibits the resources and disburse-
ments, the alarms and causes, the losses and insurance.
The Chief reports the condition and requirements, the estab-
lishing of new companies and the time of going into service,
compares the loss of previous years, makes a summary statement
of fires attended, miles run, fires worked at, hose used, hours
worked, etc., making valuable suggestions as to future improve-
ments.
The Superintendent of Machinery's report shows the condi-
tion of apparatus, additions made thereto, description of each
engine and some recommendations.
The Medical Officer reports the diseases and injuries and the
general health.
The Chief Operator, Building Inspector, Boiler Inspector,
Examiner of Engineers and Electrician each give detailed state-
ments of the condition of the respective branches of the depart-
ment over which they have charge.
814 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
No new companies have been organized since the last report,
but during the year a new engine house has been started and is
now almost completed, and a new company will be placed therein
as soon as practicable.
In conclusion I wish to state that the past year has been a
very successful one, both financially and in efficiency of the work
accomplished, and I desire to express my full appreciation of the
Chief, his assistants and the members of the force to perform the
various duties assigned them. Their united efforts have sus-
tained the reputation of this department and placed it in the
front rank.
I desire also to thank the Police Department for the many
courtesies extended in aiding this department at fires.
Very respectfully submitted,
G. L. HECHLER,
Director of Fire Service,
Report of the Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE. 885
Report of Chief*
Cleveland, Ohio, January i, 1898.
Hon. G. 1,. Hechler, ' •
Director of Fire Service,
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to submit to you my seven-
teenth annual report, comprising the work and condition of the
Cleveland Fire Department for the year ending December 31,
1897.
During the past year the Department responded to 1,100
alarms, which is 100 more than the year previous.
Of these 793 were box alarms and 307 were still alarms.
There were 462 working fires, which was 61 more than in 1896.
Of this number there were 21 calls for assistance and 14 false
alarms.
The loss by fire during the past.year\yas $573,054.26, divided
as follows : On buildings, $278,978.21 ; on contents, $294,076.05.
The Department at present consists of 377 ofiicers and men,
148 horses and 119 pieces of apparatus, which comprises 25 en-
gine companies, 9 hook and ladder companies, 3 chemical engines,
I hose company, i water tower and i aerial Scott Uda ladder,
engine companies 15 and 21 being fire boats.
The Department has at the present time 42,555 feet of fire
hose of different sizes. Just here I would like to call your atten-
tion to the necessity of extending the pipe lines for the fire boats,
and advisability of placing a large two-horse wagon for the pur-
pose of carrying 3}^ -inch hose and other necessities needed foi*
the fire boat pipe lines.
To the telegraph department I would call special attention,
and I would also recommend a change in making calls for assist-
ance at fires, and to the replacing of some of the older engines
with new and lighter ones.
836 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
The discipline of the Department is good. The state law
regulating the Department should be changed to conform with
the Department. We now have a chief, an assistant chief and
battalion chiefs, while the state law provides for a chief and
assistant chiefs, but no battalion chiefs.
The salaries ought to be equalized to conform more with the
duties performed.
I would state here that Secretary Spencer is entitled to an
assistant, and that in most departments the chief is allowed a
clerk, and an assistant could fill both, positions.
The Benefit Associations of the Fire Department are in good
condition. The Firemen's Life Insurance paid out $7,585.00
death loss and $17.50 running expenses. The Relief Association
paid out in sick claims $2,352.00, death claims $400.00, and other
claims, the total amounting to $2,874.99. There is a cash bal-
ance to its credit in the bank amounting to $5,477.92.
The Pension Fund has now on its roll thirty-two old and
disabled firemen, twenty-five widows and thirty-one children.
In taking care of these the Board expended $26,480.59 during
the past year.
The untimely death of Lieutenant William MacFeeters, due
to an accident at the Power Block fire on the night of December
23, 1897, I mention with regret.
Before closing I wish to thank you for your action and inter-
est manifested in all matters pertaining to the good of the
Department.
I also wish to thank the papers for the praise of the Depart-
ment, and the Old Firemen and citizens for their timely help and
encouragement at fires ; also the officers and men for their zeal
and earnestness manifested at all times, and the Police Depart-
ment for their invaluable aid at fires, as it never has been more
efficient. Respectfully submitted,
J. W. DICKINSON,
Chief Cleveland Fire Department,

DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE. 839
Report of Superintendent of Machinery.
C1.EVELAND, Ohio, December 31st, 1897.
Hon. G. L. Hechler,
Director of Fire Service,
Dear Sir : — I respectfully submit herewith my annual re-
port of machinery and apparatus of the Fire Department for the
year ending December 31st, 1897.
APPARATUS.
The apparatus of the Department is in excellent condition,
attention having been paid to keep this arm of the service in the
highest standard of efficiency, repairs having been made when
necessary from time to time to insure the efficiency of the
machinery.
The casualties were few. The most serious one was that
which hook and ladder truck No. 4 met with on September i8th
by being run into by the fast mail train of the Erie Railway Co.,
on the iEtna street crossing of that road, demolishing the truck
and breaking all the ladders, severely injuring several members
of the company at the time.
The truck has been rebuilt and is practically new, with very
few exceptions. The ladders, having been rendered useless,
were replaced by a new set.
The apparatus purchased newly were one fourth size double
piston steam engine, placed in service at Fire Station No. 24,
built by Thos. Manning. It was placed in service May 4th.
A new exercising wagon was purchased for Engine Co. No. 5.
The old one was worn out ; it was taken in part pay for the new
wagon.
840 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
There was one light Concord wagon purchased for use of the
telegraph department, to be used in looking after trouble on the
line, or such other light work as is needed.
Five buggies (oflBcers') received general repairs and painting,
three of them receiving new wheels.
Hose wagon No. 8 received a general overhauling and paint-
ing, which put it in first class order.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Would respectfully recommend that one new chiefs buggy
be purchased and one now in use be used as a reser\'e one. There
is only one now for that purpose, which is not enough, as it
sometimes requires the sending of two, and at times three, to
shop for repairs. And in the event of purchasing a new huggy
I would suggest that it be equipped with rubber tire and roller
bearings. They will materially lessen the cost of repairs in the
future.
Rebuilding of the old hook and ladder truck now used as an
extra. In its present condition it is not adequate to fill the re-
quirements of what a hook and ladder truck should be.
A light engine of the fourth size, to be used as an extra in
the outlying districts, as those in reser\'e at present are too heavy
to be used when off paved streets. It would be an impossibility
for a team of horses to haul them in some of the roads in those
districts on account of the great weight of engines.
Some of the engines and hose wagons in the Department
will need painting when the winter is over, they being much in
need of it to put them in a presentable appearance.
The machinery of the Department has worked well on the
several calls made upon it during the year past, the severest test
being the one at the Perkins Power Block on the night of De-
cember 23d. During the progress of that fire each of the fifteen
steam fire engines and the two fire boats engaged did splendid
service to the end without interruption. The value of the pipe
system from the fire boat stations was fully demonstrated at that
fire. The streams of water delivered on the fire were very large
and of tremendous force.
DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE, 841
The casualties to apparatus were slight. Hook and ladder
No. I was slightly damaged by a falling wall. A running board
on one side was broken ; one extension ladder was broken also.
Engine No. 8 had a slight di.sarrangement of the exhaust occur.
Repairs were immediately made and it was reported for duty in
a short space of time. Fire boat (John H. Farley) reported the
breaking of crosshead bolls in one of the pump engines. This
break was also immediately repaired, having extra bolts on hand
for such emergency.
A new pair of steamer wheels were purchased to replace the
ones burned at Station i6. They are to be used as extras for the
Manning third size engines.
HEATERS.
There are 24 heaters attached to fire engines, 2 heaters used
for heating water for house use only, 10 steam house heaters, all
of which are in good order except the one at Station No. 3,
which will require to be replaced by a new one.
EXTRA PARTS.
Provisions have been made to have extra parts of apparatus
stored, ready for immediate use, such as wheels, poles, whiffle-
trees, eveners, grates, suctions, and several smaller parts to be
used when needed.
V
APPARATUS IN SERVICE.
The following is a list of the apparatus of all classes now in
service and in first class condition: Consisting of 16 double
piston engines, 2 single piston engines, 6 rotary engines, 2 fire
boats with powerful vertical duplex pumps, 25 hose wagons, 9
hook and ladder trucks (three of which are of the aerial turn-
table style), I aerial ladder (Scott Uda), rope windlass hoist, i
water tower, 10 buggies (officers'), 3 two-wheeled chemical en-
gines, 2 linemen's wagons, i telegraph pole cart, 2 coal wagons
with capacity for ^}4 tons each, 2 general delivery wagons, 23
exercising wagons.
842 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
RESERVE APPARATUS.
The following apparatus is in reserve : Two steam fire en-
gines in fair condition, 2 hose wagons in good condition, i four-
wheeled hose carriage in fair order, i hook and ladder truck in
bad conditioq, i chiefs buggy, fair.
IN BAD ORDER.
One steam fire engine (formerly used at Station No. n), i
two- wheeled gig, i old fire wagon, i lot of old fire ladders wliich
are not considered safe for future use. Would recommend that
this lot of miscellaneous old stuff be condemned and sold, as it is
of no further use for service.

DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE. 845
Report of the Chief Operator of the Cleveland
Fire Alarm Telegraph*
Fire Alarm Office, January ist, 1898.
Hon. G. L. Hechler,
Director of Fire Service,
Sir : — I have the honor to submit to you my annual report
for the year ending December 31st, 1897.
During the past year the Fire Alarm System has worked
very well, considering there are 82 old Allen alarm boxes in
circuit. Whenever there was delay in receiving a proper alarm
it would be from an Allen box ; they cannot be counted on with
any degree of safety and should be replaced as soon as possible
with new sector weight boxes.
During the past year 830 feet of cable was laid underground
on Wood street, from St. Clair street to and in the City Hall.
This cable took the place of overhead wires between said points,
and said overhead wires and poles have been removed.
During the past year 10^ miles of copper wire was strung
in renewing and extending our circuits to take in additional
boxes, of which there were 4 added to the system ; and all poles
liaving fire alarm boxes attached thereto were given a coat of red
paint.
There are places in our circuits where the poles and wire are
old and in bad shape, and should be replaced with new poles and
i?vire. I shall submit, later on, a detailed statement of what is
required in that line, with estimated cost thereof.
In the line of additions and improvements to the Fire Alarm
System I respectfully refer to my communication dated Decern-
846 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
ber 31st, 1897, which gives details and estimated cost. There is
one change in said paper which I respectfully recommend. In
place of additional talking line I would build four alarm circuits,
placing thereon the polarized relays that work the registers and
gongs ; by doing this each engine house would have two (2) cir-
cuits to receive alarms.
In conclusion I beg leave to extend my sincere thanks to the
Honorable Director of Fire Service and to the Chief for kindness
and assistance rendered.
See annexed table for detailed statements, etc.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH ROTHGERY,
Chief Operator,
Respectfully forwarded to Chief J. W. Dickinson.

Office of the Medical Officer
January ist, 1898
"■}
Hon. G. L. Hechler,
Director of Fire Service,
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to submit to you a report of
the medical services for the year ending December 31st, 1897,
and with it desire to make the following recommendations :
Much sickness results from exposure, and many times from
unnecessary exposure. I am told by firemen that in responding
to night alarms sufficient time is not given them to dressj that
they frequently ride to fires their only clothing that of a shirt
and trousers. This is inhuman and should be rectified at once.
They should be well clothed at night to meet the severe and ex-
treme exposure to which no other body of public servants are
subjected, and to this their Captains should give attention.
Each fire station should be provided with a supply of mod-
ern medical and surgical dressings and facilities for properly
caring for injuries. I am frequently called to dress wounds that
should receive particular attention — where cleanliness should be
observed in every detail — and there find only a horse bucket in
which to wash a wound.
Appended you will find tables showing medical ser\4ces.
In conclusion I desire to return my sincere thanks for the
very kind treatment which has been accorded me.
Respectfully forwarded through the Chief, James W. Dick-
inson. D. L. TRAVIS,
Medical Officer, C. F. D,
Approved and forwarded to Director G. L. Hechler.

Report of Veterinary.
Hon. G. L. Hechler,
Director of Fire Service: •
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to submit herewith my re-
port for the year ending December 31, 1897.
The total number of cases treated in the Veterinary Hos-
pital during the year of 1897 was 107; the total number of visits
made by the Veterinarian, 796.
Only one horse has been lost, No. 168, on November 25,
from heart failure ; said horse dropping on the road while in re-
sponse to an alarm from Box 342.
I consider the mortality phenomenally low.
After repeated trials of various rubber shoes I do not con-
sider them practical for winter use in the City of Cleveland. If
rubber shoes can be furnished at a reasonable expense I would
recommend them for summer wear, as I think they would do
away with a great deal of slipping and falling on slipperj' pave-
ments.
The horses of the Department, as a rule, are in good shape
to perform the services required of them.
We have a few that are old, having been in the service a
good many years, and I would recommend their disposal during
the coming year.
In closing, permit me to thank you and the other oflBcers
and members of the Fire Department for kind and courteous
treatment. Yours respectfully,
N. H. DOWNS, M.D.C.
Department Veterinary,

Hon. G. L. Hechler,
Director of Fire Service:
Dear Sir: — I have the honor to herewith submit the Tenth
Annual Report of the business transacted by this Department
for the y^ear ending December 31, 1897.
The estimated cost of new structures built during the past
year is $3,031,928, and for additions, alterations and repairs,
1^375,875, or a total of $3,407,803, which is $262,202 more than
for the year of 1896.
The fees charged for permits in 1897 amounted to $5,854,30,
and the expenditures for salaries, stationery, printing, etc.,
$6,322.50. The fees charged for permits in 1896 amounted to
$5,459.80, and the expenditures for salaries, stationery, printing,
^tc, $6,420.37. No fees were charged for the public buildings
built by the city, but the cost of the same is included in the total
for new structures.
Four hundred and forty-eight (448) permits have been issued
for steam and hot air heaters, all of which have been inspected.
Forty-five permits have been issued to move buildings.
Notices have been served on owners of ten buildings to
place fire escapes on same. The plans and specifications for fire
escapes are the same as last year.
Numerous examinations of buildings reported unsafe and
walls of those destroyed by fire have been made, and when
found to be unsafe the owners or agents have been notified to
liave them made safe or taken down.
864 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
The force employed in this Department consist of the In-
spector of Buildings, Assistant Inspector, and two Deputy In-
spectors.
The Assistant Inspector and one Deputy are employed all
the time inspecting buildings in the course of construction; all
heating apparatus, unsafe buildings, defective chimneys, and lo-
cating and ordering on fire escapes.
The territory to be covered by the number employed in this
office is manifestly too large — thirty-two square miles.
I would respectfully suggest that at least two additional in-
spectors be provided for, and would add that from the present
outlook in the building trades the fees will be large enough to
warrant the payment of the salaries therefrom, and keep this
office self-sustaining or nearly so, as it has been in the past.
In closing permit me to thank the officers and members of
the Police and Fire Departments for their help ; and the Assist-
ant Inspectors for the faithful discharge of their duties.
Yours very respectfully,
JOHN E. THOMAS,
Inspector of Buildings.

DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE. 871
Report of the City Electrician.
January i, 1898.
Hon. G. L. Hechler,
Director of Fire Service:
Dear Sir : — The following report for the year ending Dec-
ember 31, 1897, is very respectfully submitted.
Number of permits issued ,. . . 650
Number of inspections made i, 128
Number of poles removed loi
Feet of aerial wire removed ; . . . . 1,087,780
Feet of sub-way built 42,988
Feet of ducts placed underground 324,723
Feet of cable placed underground 1 17»759
Feet of* conductors placed underground 16,250,637
Or 3,077^^^ miles. The total amount of wire underground
within the city is 12,314-^^ niiles.
Number of tests made on railway conductors to determine
if conditions exist which may cause electrolysis, 943.
The frequent measurements of electrical energy furnished
to street lamps has at all times shown it above that called for in
the specifications. The average for the year being 9Tinr%'
Many improvements have been made in the details of wiring
on the streets and in buildings for the better protection of life
and property. The total known fire loss within the past year
caused by defective wiring was less than five dollars, and there
has been no serious accidents to persons.
Notwithstanding the above record, careful inspections often
bring to notice conditions which would cause serious results if
not remedied. New construction work needs careful inspection,
and the older installation require considerable attention also, as
872 DEPARTMENT OF FIRE SERVICE.
they deteriorate, to a dangerous extent, if not properly cared for.
The rapid adoption of the use of electrical devices and appli-
ances constantly increase the work of this Department although
improved methods suggested by experience facilitates the work
to some extent. The question of the electrolitic action of cur-
rents of electricity on pipes in the streets has repeatedly been
called to the notice of the writer ; while the railwaj^ companies
have expended many thousands of dollars in the prosecution of
work which will tend greatly to prevent their currents from hav-
ing an injurious effect on the pipes and the armor of under-
ground cables there probably are existing conditions which will
require still more work to be done to properly protect the prop-
erty of the city from the deteriorating effects of electrolysis.
I most earnestly recommend that the necessary appliance be pur-
chased to enable the writer to make a complete survej^ which is
the only means of arriving at correct conclusions and deciding
on the most efficient methods of preventing what may be results
greatly to be regretted. The aerial wires in the underground
district have nearly all been removed, and I respectfully recom-
mend that the Ordinance be enforced regarding the few remain-
ing. In conclusion I desire to express my thanks for the cour-
teous and kindly treatment received from you and to the Chief
and the Assistant Chiefs for their aid and encouragement in the
discharge of the duties which have devolved on the writer.
Very respectfully,
GEO. M. HOAG,
City Electrician.

Director's Report.
HON. R. E. McKISSON, Mayor.
Cleveland, O., January ist, 1898.
Dear Sir : — Herewith I have the honor to transmit the
Annual Report of the Department of Charities and Correction
for the 3'ear 1897.
In preparing this report some slight changes have been made
in its arrangement, some tables that have appeared in former
years having been eliminated and others added, in the main,
however, the general outline has been preserved.
FINANCIAL.
The financial statement of the department, as a whole shows
the receipts for the year, including cash on hand January ist,
1897, to have been $314,269.76; disbursements, $262,664.25,
leaving a cash balance in the hands of the City Treasurer to the .
credit of the Department of $51,605.51.
Of the total receipts of the department, the Division of In-
firmary received the sum of $109,259.73, the portion allowed by
law of the Dow and Cigarette tax, the balance was derived from
the sales and earnings of the different divisions.
There is due the Division of Infirmary, for the care of in-
digent insane patients, $68,830.79* In former years the
County has reimbursed the City for this service, but has failed
to do so for the last quarter of 1896 and all of 1897 ; the bills
have been made as they became due and presented the County
Commissioners for payment, but the Judge of the Probate Court,
upon whose order the patients were committed, has refused to
^1^ DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
sign the voucher authorizing the payment of the claim, there-
fore the Commissioners have withheld settlement. The Judge
of the Probate Court continues to remand insane patients to the
care of the City Ini&rmary, where they are received under pro-
test, pending a settlement of the City's claim. I have placed the
claim in the hands of the Director of Law, and asked to have
the matter pushed forward to an early settlement. If the Coun-
ty is not liable for this service, the State certainly is, and it is an
, injustice that Cleveland should be compelled to bear the burden
of supporting over three hundred incurable insane patients ; no
other city in the State is required to do this.
A special tax of $6,190.50 was placed against the Infirmary
property for the paving of Scranton avenue. It seems to me that
special taxes of this nature should be paid by the city from its
general fund, instead of placing it on its Institutions, which re-
ceive no portion of the general tax and are not directly inter-
ested in such improvements.
The splendid financial showing made by the House of Cor-
rection during the past two years has been well sustained during
the year which has just closed, despite the decreased population
and the increased cost of the food supplies. This Institution is
not only self-sustaining, but it is operated at a profit large enough
to permit of keeping its buildings and fixtures in first class con-
dition, as well as adding each year to its permanent investment
in the way of new and improved mechanical devices and facili-
ties for doing business.
By reason of a breakage which occurred in the culvert carry-
ing a portion of Kingsbury run across the House of Correction
property, it was necessary to expend over $2,500.00 in repairing
the same. This expenditure, which neither increased the pro-
ductive power of the manufacturing plant or added to its facili-
ties as a penal institution, was a necessity in order to preserve
what had already been accomplished in the way of filling the
gully through which the run- traverses, and which will be of
great value as land on which to build as the needs of the insti-
tution increase. Had it not been necessary to meet this unex-
pected outlay, the net profit of the Division for the year would
have been increased by that amount.
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. 911
THE INSTITUTIONS.
As the population of the citj'^ increases the number of the
indigent also increases ; during the past year the average daily
population of the Infirmary and Hospital was 753 (the largest in
its history). This is an increase of 74 over the previous year.
Your attention is respectfully called to the report of Super-
intendent of the Infirmary, by which it will be seen that the
entire per capita cost of maintenance and attendance per annum
amounted to $115.12 which is a decrease of $1.79 per capita over
the year of 1896.
The buildings, furniture and fixtures of the institution have
been placed in first-class condition throughout : the roofing,
tinning, and spouting have been renewed, the interior of the
Infirmary and Hospital repainted, furniture repaired when possi-
ble; otherwise replaced with new and modern ware, separate
quarters prepared and furnished for the old married couples so
they could spend the few remaining days left them together, new
toilet rooms added to the Infirmary Department, the old ones
having become unsanitary, additions made to the surgical
appliances and laboratory equipment, and portable bath tubs pro-
vided for the Hospital for use in fever cases. New machinery
added to the laundry, new brick buildings erected for the outside
work, additional heating facilities provided, and the boilers and
machinery thoroughly over-hauled and placed in good repair.
Whenever possible the labor of the inmates of the Middle and
Insane wards has been utilized in doing this work.
Notwitstanding the fact that our insane wards are simply
places of confinement for the indigent insane committed to our
care, and that we are totally without the facilities that go to make
up an Insane Asylum, still, with such meager methods as we
have been able to apply during the past year, there has been
discharged as cured from the Insane Department of the City
Infirmary twenty-one patients who were committed to us as
incurably insane.
I am satisfied that the care they have received, and the fact
that they are all required to perform some out-of-door labor when
possible, has in a large measure contributed to the cures that
have been affected as above.
912 DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
I would respectfully suggest that a House Physician be
detailed to this department, who would give his entire time to
the care and treatment of nervous and mind diseases.
During the past summer the necessary legislation was passed
by the Council and contracts let for the construction of a building
to be used for a Children's Hospital, and at this writing the
structure is enclosed, and under roof, and will be ready for
occupancy by June ist., 1898. When completed this building
will accommodate 100. little ones in the diifferent wards. Up to
the present time $10,400.00 has been expended and it will require
an expenditure of about $16,000.00 to complete the work in
hand.
I would recommend the construction of two small " isolation
buildings " to he used for Children's contagious diseases at a
cost not exceeding $800.00 each, one of which to be used for
Scarlet Fever, and the other for Diphtheria cases. With this
addition to the complement of buildings now in use and under
construction, the city would be in excellent condition to care for
all classes of its indigent sick.
There has been treated at the City Hospital during the past
year a total of 1094 patients. This is 252 in excess of the number
cared for in 1896. At that time it was feared that the limit of
the capacity of the institution had been reached but by reason
of the skillful medical treatment and careful attention given each
patient, and the excellent work of the nurses, it has been possible
to care for the increased population. For the first, credit must be
given the members of the Medical Staff for their unfailing interest
and devotion to this work of mercy. For the second, great
praise is due the nurses, who under the able supervision of Miss
Kirkpatrick have labored faithfully and intelligently for the best
results.
Your attention is called to the report of Dr. S. W. Kelley,
Secretary of the Medical StaiBT which will show the demands that
have been made upon the staff and the resources of the
institution.
Out of a total of $29,803.14 disbursed for supplies in the
Out-door Relief Department, over $15,000.00 was expended
during the first four months of the year; this extraordinary
demand was occasioned, largely, by the excitement raised during
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. 913
the early winter over the alleged unprecedented amount of suffer-
ing existing among the poor ; the result of this was to attract to
the city a horde of paupers from neighboring cities, and to direct
the attention of impostors and the shiftless class towards the city
and private charities. The bad eflfects of this are being felt at the
present time, as the private charities were impoverished during
the excitement of a year ago, and the result is that the city is now
being called upon to care for a number of cases heretofore pro-
vided for by the private organizations.
In the administration of the Out-door Relief Department,
since I came into office, I have demanded a rigid investigation
into the condition of the applicants for relief, and where neces-
sary to grant relief have required the head of the family, when
able, to render a return in labor of some kind. As a result I have
been able to furnish the labor for the making of a number of im-
provements, as well as completing some repairs which were
necessary, and would have otherwise entailed an outlay in ready
money ; notably, at Erie Street Cemetery the fence along the en-
tire north side of the grounds was reset by this labor, for which
a contractor proposed to charge $350.00 ; it was necessary to lay
a new sewer in Valentine street to furnish drainage for the new
Children's Hospital, by using the labor of the Out-door Relief
Department a saving of over $400.00 was made on the price it
would have cost if let and built by contract. At West Park Ceme-
tery all the preliminary work has been done by this labor, and
by the time spring opens and we are ready to let contracts for
grading and macadamizing, all the rough work will have been
accomplished. This work has also another value ; it has been
the means of ridding our books of a number of lazy, worthless
characters, that were content to allow the city to furnish them
with supplies so long as no return was asked for, but now that
they are aware they must work for what they receive, they
go where they can obtain a return in money. During the last
month of the year 976 days labor was obtained for assistance
rendered, and each winter month hereafter will show an increase.
During the year just closed twenty-seven foreign paupers
were deported with the assistance of the Federal Government.
All of these cases had applied to the city for relief, and were de-

ported before they had acquired a residence in the United States.
This was necessary to prevent them from becoming a perpetual
charge on the city.
HOUSE OF CORRECTION.
This Institution, combining as it does a reformatory, penal
institution and manufacturing plant, is the one, in my opinion,
requiring the greatest care and study in its administration. How
carefully those in charge have labored to make it excel in all its
characters is most ably set forth in the report of Supt. Dom.
The physical condition of the buildings is as good as it is
possible to keep structures of their advanced age ; a number of
improvements have been made of a sanitary nature during the
past year, a system of shower baths has been installed in place
of the old individual tubs ; new closets, urinals and washstands
substituted for the old system which had become unsanitary ;
the roof of the main building has been placed in thorough re-
pair and such other repairs as were necessary have been made,
as well as a large amount of new and improved machinery added.
I heartily second the recommendation made by the Board of
County Visitors that instead of the employes being housed and
boarded in the institution additional compensation be granted
them, sufficient to enable them to board outside the buildings.
The dining room now used by the employes could then be con-
verted to the use of the prisoners, who are at present forced to
eat and sleep in practically the same room. This change would
work a benefit not only to the prisoners but to the employes as
well, who should not be required to be separated from their
families.
The discipUne of the institution has been well preserved
and it speaks well for the kindness and firmness of those having
charge of the prisoners, that it has not been necessary in a single
instance to resort to harsh measures to enforce obedience ; those
of the inmates as are employed in the manufacturing depart-
ment seem cheerful and willing to perform the tasks allotted
them. It is to be hoped that the demand for our product will
continue in the coming year as great as in the past, so that their
labor can be employed in this direction.
The following persons were appointed by the Judge of the
Common Pleas Court, as a Board of County Visitors : Gen.
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. 915
James Barnett, Geo. T. Chapman, Judge E. J. Blandin, Mrs. D.
E. Leslie, Mrs. S. Joseph and Mrs. W. J. Sheppard. This Board
has made many visits to the different Institutions, and I am
under many obligations to the members thereof for the kindly
interest they have shown, and for the valuable suggestions of-
fered by them. Their report is offered herewith, and I hope
they will continue during the coming year to give me the bene-
fit of their advice.
The oflScers and members of the local charitable organiza-
tions have also assisted me with their advice and experience, and
I trust that during the coming year the City Charities and the
private organizations can be brought in still closer relationship.
During the past year regular monthly meetings of the Board,
consisting of the Mayor, Police Judge and Directorof Charities and
Correction, to whom is relegated the power to grant paroles or
pardons to prisoners, have been held on the second Tuesday of
each month, and the rule of releasing prisoners on parole at that
time only has been rigidly adhered to. In only one or two
instances have the paroles granted by the board been violated.
CEMETERIES.
By changing the site of the West Side Cemetery from Lorain
Heights to the Pest House Farm, which will be known in the
future as West Park Cemetery, there was added to the cemetery
property of the city that which will be one of the most picturesque
and beautiful burial places in the country. In addition to
the property received in exchange, the Division of Cemeteries
will also receive from the Division of Infirmary the sum of
$20,000.00 with which to purchase the additional land necessary
to make the site complete, and still have from twelve to fifteen
thousand dollars to make a start toward beautifying and placing
the property in condition for doing business. This exchange
was made upon the recommendation and request of citizens of the
West and South Sides and the advice of competent engineers and
landscape gardeners. In the past the most beautiful of the public
cemeteries in the city have been located on the East Side, but with
the completion of West Park Cemetery there will be located,
within easy reach of the West and South Sides, a burial spot that
promises to rival the famous cemeteries of the leading cities of
916
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
the country; certainly nothing in Cleveland or its neighboring
cities can surpass it in natural beauty. A great deal of the pre-
liminary work in the way of surveying, making plats and
profiles has already been accomplished, as well as the rough work
of removing under-brush, thinning out and removing dead and
fallen timber, etc., which will be pushed forward during the
winter with such labor as can be obtained from the Out-door
Relief Department.
Contracts for the principal work will be let in the early
spring, and I expect interments will be made in the cemetery
during the coming summer.
The earnings of the Division of Cemeteries amounted to
$26,809.55 which is about $2,500.00 less than during the previous
year ; it is but reasonable to expect that the earnings of the
older cemeteries will become less each year; after a cemetery
reaches a certain age, and the most desirable lots are disposed of,
the income is certain to diminish. In addition to this all the lots
in tne cemeteries on the West Side are sold, and there are few
grave spaces for sale, therefore we are deriving no income from
that source. With the opening of West Park Cemetery, which
is designed to furnish a burial ground for the West and South
Sides, the earnings of the Division will show a large gain.
It seems to me that in addition to making the foregoing re-
port, it is within my province to suggest what measures should
be taken to prevent the growth of pauperism, and to prevent an
increase in the expenditure of public funds for that purpose.
Cleveland has long since ceased to be a village and has become
the metropolis of Ohio, and one of the largest cities in the
United States. Rules that guided the dispensation of the public
charity a decade ago are not applicable to the present condition
and character of our population. The number of paupers and
criminals in proportion to the population has increased in a
greater degree.
By reason of the rapid growth of the city in the past few
years there has been attracted to it a large foreign element,many
of whom having no sympathy or pecuniary interest in the
municipal corporation, and whose ideas of citizenship have not
as yet had an opportunity to develop. Among this class
there is a deep founded belief that the city is bound to provide
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. 917
for them in time of need, and that to them means when they are
without steady employment ; they do not hesitate to ask for aid and
when successful in obtaining what they desire, accept it with no
compunction of conscience as to the manner in which it has been
obtained. There is also a class of our own people who are as ready
to practice fraud and imposition as the latter. . It is with a view of
lessening the imposition which is continually practiced upon the
cijty and private charities that I have urged the necessity of the
establishment of the Charity Clearing House to prevent the
duplication of relief, detect fraud and provide means for more
rigid investigation of the condition and worth of those applying
for aid. It has been my object, and I have tried in every way
to impress it upon others engaged in charitable work the necess-
ity of rigid investigation, and where it is necessary to grant re-
lief to make that relief of as temporary a character as possible,
and in every way to assist those in distress into a position in
which they can help themselves. The Charity Clearing House
could accomplish much in this direction were it only patronized
by the private charities ; with the co-operation of the city, I am
sure it will be the means of lessening in a degree the amount of
pauperism.
The future of the nation is in the hands of the children of
to-day, who will be the citizens of to-morrow. The importance
to society of the problem of properly caring and training them
for the duties of citizenship cannot be overestimated. To the
class of unfortunate youth born in poverty and reared in igno-
rance we owe a particular care, both to their physical and moral
training. Up to the present time we have had no hospital in
the city that could care for indigent children. The law does not
allow minors to be cared for in the same building with adult in-
digents, and it was to meet this necessity that the Children's
Hospital was projected, This institution will treat all classes of
diseases and deformities ; it will be the means of preventing
many a child from becoming a confirmed cripple, which, even
with the best of opportunities, is a handicap in life's battle. It
will also relieve the mothers upon whom devolves the great bur-
den of their care, as well as in many cases their support. There
are many instances in which a widowed mother is able to pro-
vide for her family by her own exertions as long as those de-
918 DEPARTMENT OP CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
pendent upon her are in health, but let one of her family be-
come ill and she is forced to give up her daily labor in order to
minister to the necessities of her suflFering child. If the sick-
ness be prolonged, in the natural course of events she will
either have to depend upon a private charity or go to the City
Out-door Relief. Perhaps after the little one recovers she may
be able to return to her employment, but in a great many cases
she will find her place has been filled by another, and if continued
ill luck pursues her she will soon become a regular dependent
upon the city. The eflFect of this upon the children is far from
beneficial, it destroys their self respect and the eflfects follow them
through life.
With the Children's Hospital in operation, we will be able
to relieve the mother of her charge in time of sickness and fur-
nish better care and medical attendance then they possibly could
receive at home, and in many cases cure them of what might
otherwise become a chronic disease and thereby cause them to
become a dependent upon charity.
The above institution will minister to the physical diseases
of the poor children. Among the children of all classes there
are a certain number who require a firmer discipline and a stronger
moral training than they receive at home. The children of the
poorer classes are from a necessity left more to themselves, than
those of any other class. History proves that this is a country*
of vast possibilities, and that it is not improbable that the boot-
black of to-day may one day sit in the White House and guide the
destiny of the nation. It is remarkable that many of the great
men which this country has produced, have sprung from the
ranks of the most obscure class with whom existence is a struggle,
and to whom the law of the survival of the fittest almost univer-
sally applies. It is to this class who are left almost entireiy to them-
selves that the state should devote its care. A child left to him-
self or herself without proper restraint is almost sure to drift into
evil ways, which sooner or later makes it necessary that forcible
restraint be applied, and in order that such restraint be eflfective,
it must be in the line of education, not only of the heart and
head but of the hand as well. To accomplish this most effectually,
houses of refuge and reform schools with restraining influences
have been found necessary. In institutions of this kind,
DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION. 919
children can be brought up under proper control and taught that
respect for law and order which goes to make useful, law abiding
citizens. Cleveland has no such institutions ; our judges hesi-
tate to send children of tender years to jails and workhouses,
knowing the effects of the companionship of older criminals ;
the result is the culprit learns to have a contempt for the
law, until he reaches an age when he must be treated as a
criminal.
I sincerely trust that the recommendation contained in your
communication to the Council in August last with regard to this
matter, will be taken up and acted upon during the ensuing
year. An institution of this kind should be provided which
would combine a home, both mental and manual schools, and at
the same time be a reformatory to which youthful incprrigibles
could be committed. The law provides that children when com-
mitted to this institution shall remain there until of age, but
vests in the Board of Managers power to grant paroles for good
behavior.
In the Children's Hospital and the Refuge are provided the
means of caring for the physical and moral training of our in-
corrigible youths. They both aim at the same result i. e. to de-
crease pauperism and vice.
The necessity for the enforcement of the Cumulative Sen-
tence Law as a preventive against pauperism becomes more ap-
parent to me ever}' day. The records of the Workhouse show
that we have many prisoners who have been sent there from 5
to 70 times, and all on short sentences. The law makes it a
penal offense for a man to fail to support his family, he can be
committed to the Workhouse for non-support or his wife can be
granted a divorce upon the same grounds.
The head of the family is sent to prison by the Court as a
punishment for some crime which he has committed. He is not
punished near as much as the innocent members of his family
whom he has wronged the most. The prisoner is well housed
and well fed, but his family is often turned into the street to
shift for itself, homeless and penniless and tainted with the
stigma of being the family of a criminal ; society is slow to ex-
tend them a helping hand, and too often the result is ruin. This
is where the Workhouse is making criminals and paupers. The
920 DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
Cumulative Sentence Law, providing as it does a short sentence
for the first oflfense and increased period of servitude with e\'ery
additional sentence, would be the means of causing the offender
to fear the Workhouse. The short term prisoner is of but little
value to the institution from a commercial standpoint when sent
there for such minor oflFenses as drunkenness, and those of simi-
lar character ; for the first we simply build up the prisoner's sys-
tem and send him out for another debauch, and when we receive
him again under the oft recurring sentence of $i.oo and costs, we
have to go through the same process again, and by the time he is in
fit condition to render some service his time has expired. The
remedy for this is in longer sentences for repeated offense, thereby
making the prisoner's labor more skilled and of greater value to the
institution. This is the first step, then after his labor is of some
commercial value, divide his earnings with those who are de-
pendent upon him for support. As he becomes more skilled his
labor will be of greater value and greater benefits will accrue to
his familj' ; the moral effect upon the prisoner in any instance
will be better. At the present time there are the names of many
families upon our books in the Out-door Relief Department who
are drawing supplies therefrom whose support is in the Work-
house. It is true that by dividing the earnings of the prisoner
with his family the income of the House of Correction may be
reduced, but in the end the city will not be the loser, as the ex-
penditures of the Out-door Relief Department will be materially
lessened.
The House of Correction was designed for a reformatory,
and as such can accomplish much in arresting the downward
steps of the wrong-doer, but we sadly misapply the use of the
Institution when by committing a prisoner to its care for refor-
mation we make paupers out of his family, or send them to the
street to gain their daily bread by any means which presents
itself
This matter should be remedied at once, all that is necessar)'
to be done is to take advantage of the legislation which has been
enacted and enforce the Cumulative sentence law ; the effect of
which will be :
First, to instill in the petty offender a fear of the workhouse.
Second, to increase the value of the prisoners' labor, and
Third, and most important, to prevent pauperism anddegreda-

tion in the family of the unfortunate who is committed to the
care of the House of Correction.
The Humane Society purposes presenting to the legislature
an amendment to the law which provides for the support of
children by the parents ; the amendment will make it compulsory
upon the children to provide for their indigent parents. We are
maintaining a number of old and decrepit men and women in the
Infirmary whose children are in more than comfortable circum-
stances, but who refuse to provide for those who nourished and
cared for them when they were unable to provide for themselves.
It is to be deplored that it is necessary to enact a law to force a
man or woman to fulfill their filial obligations, but it seems to be
the case, and as other states have had to resort to the same
measure, I hope the Society will be successful in its efforts.
The experience of the past year in dealing with the City's
poor has simply confirmed my previous opinion, and that is, in
brief, in order to reduce the amount of existing pauperism, we
must make it harder for an unworthy person to live off charity,
than by working for a living. Cases of genuine distress from
causes which attach no blame to the unfortunate sufferer, should
be promptly and humanely relieved ; but when that relief is
extended beyond the time when the recipient can care for him-
self or herself, we are doing not only them an injury but the
community an injustice.
"To give worthily in charity is commendable; to give to the
unworthy is a crime."
It would be better for the community, and far better for the
poor if indiscriminate alms-giving could be abolished, that is the
feature that works the greatest evil. A very large per cent, of
the charity thus bestowed is misapplied.
I wish to express to your Honor, my fellow members of the
Board of Control and the members of the City Council, my
sincere thanks for the warm support and hearty co-operation that
has been accorded me, and to commend the heads and employes
of the different divisions for their faithful performance of duty.

Report of Visiting Committee,
W. J. Akers,
Director of Charities and Correction^
Dear Sir: — The Board of Cuyahoga County visitors ap-
pointed by the Common Pleas Court, April 22d, 1897, wish to re-
port to you that they have visited and thoroughly inspected the
City Infirmary and Out-of-Door Relief Department, also the
House of Correction.
Our visits in each instance were made without previous an-
nouncements. We found'all of these institutions scrupulously
neat and clean, and we think it is fitting that we should say that
the Infirmary is as much like a home as it is possible for any in-
stitution to be made.
We most heartily endorse your humane act in allowing the
old people who are married to room together, instead of living in
separate parts of the building as in the past.
We approve your method of having all the inmates who are
able, work in the house or on the farm.
We consider the erection of the Children's Hospital during
the last year, as the fulfillment of an absolute necessity.
We have examined the food furnished to the poor through
the Out-of-Door Relief Department, and find it pure and whole-
some. Your method of having some able bodied member of a
family work for the supplies received, we believe to be the right
one.
We suggest the following changes be made at the House of
Correction, viz.: employes when off duty should be allowed to go
to their homes for rest. A man is but little more than a pris-
oner when obliged to live away from his family. By making this
arrangement, we believe the dormitories used by them could be
928 DEPARTMENT OF CBAMTIBS AND CORRECTION.
»
converted into a dining room for prisoners, which we consider
would be better than the present method of having them sleep
and eat in the same room.
As a Board we most earnestly hope that the near future will
add another very much needed institution to the list. We are
now referring to that of a refuge for incorrigible children. There
are very many neglected children, who, if taken care of in the
right time, given an education and a trade, will become good men
and women.
Many of our best citizens have no idea how children are
neglected in some portions of our fair city. Should they make
a visit to our markets after lo p. m., and see the number of
children, mostly girls, picking up the rotten fruit and refuse from
butcher-stalls, they would see the necessity of doing something
at once. It sometimes happens, the temptation being placed
before them and more then they can resist, that a piece of meat
or cake is stolen. The policeman in discharge of his duty must
arrest the child. The finished story — we have in our House of
Correction and Retreats.
Most of the members of this Board are interested in various
charities and philanthropies which bring them in close touch
with many of these children ; and in their name especially, as
well as of the Board as a whole, we urge that the plan proposed
by you, that of erecting a building as a '*Honie" or "Refuge" on
land owned by the city on Lorain Street, will be begun at once.

Report of Superintendent.
The Hon. W. J. Akers,
Director of Charities and Correction,
Dear Sir : — Accompanying this I hand to you the report
in detail of the Division of Infirmary, including the City Hos-
pital and Out-Door Relief Department, for the year ending De-
cember 31st, 1897. The total expenditures of the Division for
the year amounted to $159,685.50, of which sum $32,785.29 was
for fixed charges and taxes; $106,314.92, for supplies and $20,-
585.29, for furniture and fixtures and land and buildings.
By reference to table No. 9 it will be seen that the per
capita cost of maintenance supplies shows a slight increase over
the year 1896. This is due in a measure to the advanced cost of
all food products, notably in flour, potatoes and sugar, over the
previous year. We have also added a number of conveniences
and comforts for the old people, which would in itself warrant a
slight increase in expense; taken as a whole, however, and in-
cluding the fixed charges, the cost per capita per annum is $1.79
less than for the year 1896. It has been my aim in the purchase
of supplies to buy good, wholesome food and durable clothing at
the lowest possible price.
In repairs and improvements, only such expenditures have
been made as were necessary to keep the buildings in good con-
dition, and provide for the health and comfort of the inmates; the
old toilet rooms in the male department of the Infirmary had be-
come so unsanitary as to be detrimental to health, and were re-
placed by an entire new system, located in a building apart from
the living and sleeping rooms, and as sanitary measures other
brick buildings were added for outside work. In the insane
wards, new flooring was laid, and almost all that entire portion
932
DEPARTMENT OP CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
of the building repainted. New sink and bath tubs were placed
in the women's department of the Infirmary, and all portions of
the building received some attention during the year.
One of the features of the year's work was the preparation
of quarters for the old married couples ; this has been one of the
happiest improvements of the year, and the old people fully ap-
preciate the thotightfulness that has reunited them for the last
stage on their life's journey.
Your attention is called to the tables showing the daily
average population of the institution for the different years, as
compared with that of 1897, by which it will be seen that the
past year has been the heaviest in the history of the institution.
The daily average population for the year 1897 was 753 as
against 679 in 1896, the next largest year.
The condition and facilities of the City Hospital show a
marked improvement over previous years. The capacity of the
institution has been taxed at all times during the past year almost
to its limit ; 252 more patients were treated than during the
previous year, and at times every bed was occupied, but it
has never been found necessary to turn away a worthy applicant.
The medical and house staff and attendants have labored
faithfully and diligently to accomplish the best results. I think
in every way the Cleveland City Hospital will compare most
favorably with any in the city, or similar institutions throughout
the country.
Repairs and improvements have been made wherever needed,
either to increase its facilities or add to the comforts of the
patients. New sinks and closets have been put in place and all
the plumbing put in repair ; the heating capacity increased, new
screens placed in every door and window. New woven wire
matresses substituted for the old spiral springs on the beds, and
all the iron beds repainted a snow white, with brass knobs and
rubber rests added thereto; all the old furniture painted in
harmonious colors, and all beyond repair replaced with new;
portable bath tubs for use in typhoid cases were purchased, and
numerous additions made to the paraphernalia of the laboratory.
There was also added to the equipment of the laundry a new
steriliser for the use of the hospital.
DIVISION OP INFIRMARY. ^^
Taken as a whole the entire institution, both as to buildings
and fixtures is in good condition of repair, and the expenditures
in this direction for the coming year will be much less than
during the year just closed.
Contracts were let in September, and work commenced on a
building to be used as a Children's Hospital. The work is well
under way, and the building will be ready for occupancy by
June 1st, 1898. So far a little over $10,000.00 has been expended,
and it will require about $16,000.00 more to put the building in
readiness for occupancy. The new building will have accommo-
dation for one hundred patients, and will fill a long felt want.
There are some permanent improvements which should be
made, all of which will in the end, I think, prove a saving in the
operating expenses of the institution.
An electric light plant should be installed without delay.
During the spring, fall and winter months the gas bill runs from
$250.00 to $375.00 per month, and when the new Children's
Hospital is in operation it is safe to say, at least one-third more
will be added to that amount. Electricity is much safer, cleaner
and more healthful than gas, and I would sincerely like to see it
substituted for the present .system.
Another large item of expense is the cost of transportation
of coal from the railroad to the Infirmary : I would suggest that
a switch be built from the C. L. & W. Railroad, which crosses
the lower part of the Infirmary property to the foot of the hill,
and in addition to this the hill should be paved with refuse stone.
This would save the use and care of one team.
The year of 1897 was a particularly hard one for the Out-
Door Relief Department. During the early winter months an
unusual number of applications for relief was received, and on
account of the lack of employment in the city during the sum-
mer, it was necessary to continue much of the relief a greater
portion of the year. Over 7,500 cases were investigated, and
supplies amounting in value to over $29,000.00 were distributed.
Ten thousand days' labor was received in exchange for assistance
rendered. The labor thus received was distributed among the
Cemeteries, Street Department and Infirmary. Those at the In-
firmary were employed in building a sewer for the Children's
Hospital, and sawing into fire wood the old planks from off the
934 DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
Viaducts ; this wood yard has been the means of saving the city
a ^eat deal of money during the short time it has been in oper
ation ; many hundred loads of wood have been sawed up and
burned in place of coal, and it has kept away a large number of
unworthy applicants, who have strong objections to performing
any kind of labor.
During the past year the Board of County Visitors has
visited and inspected all the different institutions in the division.
In this connection it has occurred to me how little is really known
by the citizens at large of the extent and manner in which these
places are operated. I would be very glad if more interest in
their workings was manifested by the public.
Visitors are always welcome on the visiting daj's, and the
entire institution is open for their inspection.
I wish to express to you my thanks for the generous aid and
advice you have given me, and to acknowledge the valuable
assistance rendered by the Steward of the Infirmary, his estimable
wife, and the Superintendent of the Hospital, as well as by all
the employes.
Respectfully,
W. K. RICKSECKER,
Superintendent Division of Infirmary.

Report of the Medical Staff of the City Hospital.
Mr. W. J. Akers,
Director Charities and Correction:
' Dear Sir : — We here present to you the Seventh Annual
Report of the Medical StaflF of the City Hospital. The accompa-
nying tables give numerous data concerning the work performed
during the year in this institution.
Among the other figures it will be observed that the num-
ber of patients cared for is 1094. This is an increase of 252
patients over the previous year, and yet we feel safe in asserting
that they have been better cared for than ever before.
The D^artment is to be congratulated upon a great improve-
ment in the furnishing and general care of the wards and rooms,
also in the nursing.
The work of the House Staff, excepting when inconvenienced
by resignations of members before the expiration of their terms,
has proceeded smoothly and efficiently. Each year we note im-
provement in the laboratory work and increased interest in their
duties manifested by the resident staff.
The work of the laboratory has far outgrown its present
accommodations. No modern hospital is complete without ade-
quate facilities for making the microscopical, chemical and bac-
teriological examinations and tests which medical science is now
able to employ in the detection and cure of disease. Inasmuch as a
morgue is also an inevitable necessity in connection with an
institution of this kind, we desire to recommend that a struc-
ture or structures be erected suitable for the purposes of morgue
and laboratory.
The progress made in erecting a building for a children's
department meets the approval of the staff; and there can be no
DIVISION OF INFIRMARY. 967
doubt that when completed and properly equipped a great
amount of much needed work can be accomplished.
It is earnestly hoped that the department will not stay its
hand in the good work, until there are also erected and equipped
suitable separate buildings for contagious diseases. If possible
these are even more urgently needed than the children's general
department ; for no hospital in the city accepts contagious cases,
which most often occur in homes least suited to care for them
properly, or break out in institutions where many other lives are
jeapordized by their presence, and in either instance it is so
necessary to isolate them. Two small buildings, one for scarlat-
ina and one for diphtheria, at a considerable distance from each
other and from those now on the ground, would fulfill the most
urgent requirements.
Among the minor and yet important needs of the institution
are a fireproof safe in the office, in which the registers should be
kept ; and a fireproof vault in the basement for the preservation
of the records of cases.
There have been but few changes in the membership of the
staflF during the year. The officers elected at the annual meet-
ing on June 23d were : Dr. C. A. Hamann, president ; . Dr. G. B.
Case, vice president. The secretary was re-elected.
Dr. H. J. Lee resigned his position as obstetrician to the hos-
pital, and Dr. D. S. Hanson was appointed in his stead. Dr. Lee
had been also a member of the Examination Committee, and this
place was filled by the election of Dr. E. G. Carpenter.
The death of Dr. J. F. Armstrong created another vacancy
in the Examination Committee, which was supplied by the elec-
tion of Dr. G. D. Upson.
We take this opportunity of conveying to you, and placing
upon record the unanimous sentiment of this staff that your ad-
ministration in this institution has exhibited such a knowledge
of the functions and the needs of a hospital of this character, and
such an interest and energy in promoting its welfare as have won
the hearty approbation of the medical staff.
Respectfully yours,
S. W. Kklley,
Secretary.

CEMETERIES.
1000 DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
Supervisor's Report.
Hon. Wm. J. Akers,
Director of Charities and 'Correction,
Dear Sir ; — I herewith present to you my annual report of
the Department of Cemeteries, for the year ending Dec. 31, 1897.
The tabulated statements attached will show that the different
Cemeteries have been run economically and on a business basis.
The state of funds would not permit us to make any special
improvements, although some are absolutely necessary. The
conditions of the buildings and fences, both in Woodland and
Erie Street Cemeteries, is such that they certainly will have to
be repaired and painted in the spring. During the past year
exchange was made of the Lorain Heights Cemetery for the
West Park Cemetery and an expenditure of Thirty thousand
dollars ($30,000) will be necessary to render the latter in condition
for burial purposes.
Thanking you for courtesies in the past, both to myself and
my assistants, I am.
Respectfully yours,
C. WAGNER,
Supervisor of Cemetery Department,
DIVISION OF CEMETERIES.

WORKHOUSE. 1015
Superintendent's Report.
Hon. Wm. J. Akbrs,
Director of Charities and Correction^
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to present herewith the
statistical and financial report of the House of Correction for the
year ending December 31, 1897, the twenty-seventh in its history
Preliminary to some very brief mention of the year's work, I
regard it due you to say that I fully appreciate the characteristic
attention which this institution has received from you since as-
suming the responsible duties of this Department, nor should I
omit acknowledgment of the continued courtesies and interest
of His Honor, the Mayor, and other ofi&cials with whom I have
been brought in contact by the varied duties of my position.
The accompanying statistical information and financial show-
ing presents with reasonable clearness and detail the history and
results of the operations of the year.
As I have previously endeavored to express, our institution
is primarily a House of Correction, and incidentally a manufac-
tory. Our first and most constant duty is to provide a place for
the detention, and to endeavor for the moral and physical im-
provement, of those whose liberty is dangerous or debasing to
the community. To this first duty, this nobler purpose, we have
sought to make every endeavor of the year loyal ; and I feel that
considerable has been accomplished, and all without the neces-
sity of any aid from the City ; and closing with a comfortable
cash balance in the Treasury ; practically no indebtedness and
satisfactory increase over the previous year in the total of assets
carried to the credit of the City.
Early in the year we completed the improved bath system,
which supplants the old method in use since the beginning of
the institution. The new plan, by separate overhead shower
1016 DEPARTMENT OP CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
baths, thoroughly and healthfully cleanses twenty-two inmates
as quickly as one by the old way, and absolutely without the
possibility of contamination endangered by bathing many prison-
ers one after another in a large tub. This improvement is of
thorough construction in every detail — in foundation floor of
Portland cement — and in plumbing, drain pipes, and water
supply pipes, hot water regulator, etc., a most desirable addition
to the facilities of the institution, and a benefaction to its in-
mates.
In the same period was also accomplished a general recon-
struction of the dining room and kitchen and extensive improve-
ments of the cooking apparatus, permitting increased economy
in operation. The improvement included the construction of a
commodious pantry and much needed additions to the capacity
and convenience of rooms overhead.
Since the erection of our buildings twenty-seven years ago,
great progress has been made in sanitary construction, and a
great deal learned about the planning of prison buildings with
reference to sanitation. In the largest measure which the orig-
inal construction of the buildings permitted, we have endeavored
for healthfulness and cleanliness, while cheerfulness of surround-
ings has been sought to the utmost that whitewash, bright paint
and neatly kept grounds can lessen prison gloom.
The conveniences of the factory have been greatly added to
by a reconstruction of the stairways and outer entrances and ad-
ditions and improvements in machinery and manufacturing
methods.
The old closets of the factory which were certainly unsani-
tary even when new, have been supplanted by a new and thor-
oughly sanitary closet system. The conditions in the rear of the
buildings and at the barn have also been materially improved by
an extension of the sewerage and closet system upon the rear of
our premises.
With increasing age, the buildings of course require increas-
ing expenditures for repairs. Regarding it economy to keep our
buildings in thorough repair, we have continued this work when-
ever needed, the most important items being the renewal of
badly worn floors and many supporting joists and heavy timbers.
WORKHOUSE. ^^^'^
with some necessary extensions of foundations and interior
painting and a somewhat general repair of the roofs, flushings*
gutters, down spouts, etc.
An entirely unexpected and heavy item of expense has been
occasioned by the break in the sewer, running through the rear
of the property. On account of the great depth and diflficulty of
the necessary excavations, this has already required a large ex-
penditure, and one that will be very greatly increased before
completion.
This ^penditure of course very materially effects the finan-
cial showing of the year just closed and will likewise that of the
year to come.
I am constrained to add that I am impressed with the un-
fairness of compelling our institution to bear the entire burden of
this sewer reconstruction. Whether as now constituted, or mod-
ified by any future system, or intercepting sewer, it cannot be re-
garded otherwise than as a section of the trunk or main sewer of
the drainage system of an immense territory, the expense of
which should be borne by the general fund or by pro rata tax
upon all the property benefited. In estimating the share of the
House of Correction, I would of course be willing to have all of
the circumstances that occasioned this extraordinary expenditure
taken into consideration ; but to impose the burden in its en-
tirety upon us to the crippling of the working capital, which by
three years of hard labor we have acquired and are strenuously
seeking to maintain, deeply impresses me as flagrant injustice-
The business of the year in manufacture has made very grati-
fying increase, notwithstanding the continuance, though in
much lessened degree, of the general business depression and
our insistence upon prices for our manufactured product, that
assure a profit to our institution and prevent unfair competition
with concerns producing similar products with non-prison labor.
The wisdom of this policy seems to me clearly indicated by the
result of the year's work in the department of manufacture and
the influence it promises to have upon prices in the revival of
trade that is slowly but surely coming.
Comparing our boarding account with the previous year, we
have suffered somewhat of a decrease in gross receipts. This
has been greatly due to our insisting upon a price for maintain-
1018 DEPARTMENT OF CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
ing outside prisoners that would fully reimburse us for making
comfortable provision for their every reasonable requirement and
pro rata share of incidental expense, which has prompted the
management of a similar institution in this part of the state to re-
ceive prisoners at a lower rate for maintenance.
The unwisdom of this competition, has I think already im-
pressed our neighbor, and our normal share of boarders from con-
tiguous territory may soon return to us.
The report of the House Physician again indicates a year ex-
ceptionally free from epidemic or unusual run of disease, while
the readiness with which such disorders, as have occurred, yielded
to treatment, certainly indicates a healthfulness of surroundings
that is very satisfactory.
I desire to indicate my appreciation of the constant unpaid
and highly eflFective assistance from without that comes to us in
behalf of the iporal uplifting of our people.
I cannot too highly commend the genuine Christian spirit of
the labors of Captain Dennison and his co-workers of the Salva-
tion Army in the Sunday School ; of the non-sectarian services of
Messrs. Hales, Daley, Mrs. Armitage and others under the ad-
mirable leadership of Captain H. T. Fisher ; and of the unremit-
ting ministrations of Father Storm and assistant workers in the
Catholic faith, Messrs. Martin and Growler, the Misses Gary and
Miss Gaine. I have faith to believe that while the efforts of these
good people may often seem to be ''seed sowti upon stony
ground," some of it may find root and its fruit bless their labors.
The gratitute of our Gity is due them.
I desire in conclusion to repeat my acknowledgment made a
3'ear ago of valuable services rendered by faithful and competent
officials and employes ; to many of whom we are especially in-
debted for extra labor in behalf of the institution, given freely
and cheerfully. Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP H. DORN,
Superintendent,
WORKHOUSE. ^^^^
Physician's Report.
Hon. Wm. J. Akers,
Director of Charities and Correction^
Dear Sir : — I have the honor to report as follows concern-
ing the duties performed as physician in the House of Correction
for the year ending December 31, 1897.
I have had occasion to give 4,852 prescriptions and attend 32
cases of injury, most of them of course received before entering
the institution.
During the year there have been six deaths, five males and
one female, from causes as follows : alcoholism three, pneumonia
one, uraenic poisoning one, and convulsions one.
The quality of the food, the regimen of the prison and the
general sanitary conditions, I regard with the highest satisfaction.
The superintendent manifests the keenest interest in everything
pertaining to the healthfulness of the prison and under his direc-
tion many and very important improvements have been made>
helpful to cleanliness and sanitation. Very respectfully,
DR. C. A. STEDMAN,
House Physician.

Citizens^ Committee on Public
Improvements^
On January 22, 1898, a meeting of proininent citizens was
held in the Mayor's office to consider the question of public im-
provements for the city, in response to the following letter sent
out by the Mayor:
*' Dear Sir : — At the opening of the present city adminis-
tration a non-partisan committee of twenty-two prominent busi-
ness men was appointed to consider the question of public
improvements. This committee applied itself diligently to its
work, and through sub-committees prepared and adopted valu-
able reports which have been carefully followed by the adminis-
tration. Various improvements of commanding ilnportance to
our city have been undertaken and either completed or pushed
to advanced stages. It will be necessary, as was originally
anticipated, to obtain additional legislation for some of these at
the present Session of the General Assembly. I have therefore
decided to appoint a committee similar to that which gave its
services to these enterprises two years ago, and respectfully ask
you to serve as a membejr thereof, believing that your interest
in the subjects and your unbiased judgment will render you a
valuable counsellor.
** In order that the matter may be properly and expeditiously
considered, I have obtained detailed reports from the engineering
department and the various directors covering what has been
done, and have embodied the facts thus obtained in a compre-
hensive statement which is now ready for presentation. I would
be pleased to have the committee thoroughly investigate the
conduct of the improvements before accepting this report, and
would suggest that sub-committees be again appointed to con-
sider each enterprise separately as formerly.
1062
" You are earnestly reqiiested to attend the first meeting of
the committee to be held in the Mayor's office, at 2 o'clock,
standard time, Saturday afternoon, January 22, 1898, when an
organization will be effected.
** I am, very truly yours,
" R. E. McKISSON."
In response to the foregoing invitation the following per-
sons were present :
Messrs. Lea McBride, J. W. Conger, H. W. S. Wood, A. T.
Van Tassel, A. A. Jackson, C. J. Manix, Milton Morton, Edward
Wiebenson, T. W. Hill, M. A. Koran, L. N. Weber, Jacob Stein-
feld, W. M. Day, C. W. Chase, Judge F. E. Dellenbaugh. M. G.
Watterson, Judge E. J. Blandin and N. A. Gilbert, Esq.
The Mayor, who acted as Chairman, called for the reading
of a report prepared by him on public improvements which is
given on the following pages.
Mayor^s Address*
CLiEveland, O., January 22, 1898.
Ge7ttlemen :
It has seemed to me wise to call together at this time, as on
former occasions, a representative body of our citizens and tax-
payers for the purpose of conferring with them relative to legis-
lation needed for the interests of our city at the present biennial
session of the General Assembly. As you are aware, numerous
public improvements of commanding importance to the city are
now under way, and it is to call your attention more particularly
to the existing status of these that this meeting has been
arranged.
In order to fully understand the scope of the work now in
progress it may be proper to review briefly the manner in which
it has been undertaken. Plans were laid at the opening of the
present city administration in 1895. for the starting of various
improvements for which the people had for many years been
asking.. Arrangements were made for a careful examination by
expert sanitary engineers of national reputation, namely, Mr.
Rudolph Herring, of New York ; Mr. Desmond Fitzgerald, of
Boston, and Mr. George H. Benzenberg, of Milwaukee, relative
to the systems of sewerage and drainage and water supply of the
city, and their opinions were sought concerning the best methods
to pursue in remedying existing defects. The subject of river
and harbor improvements was also taken up and plans were con-
sidered for carrying them forward on a basis of thoroughness and
permanence. The expert commission deliberated until Novem-
ber, 1895, when an elaborate report was^made. Steps were
forthwith taken by the city to comply with their recommenda-
tions. A non-partisan commission of twenty-two well-known
1064
business men was appointed to consider the whole question of
public improvements, together with the wisest and most expedi-
tious manner of bringing them about. The men associated in
this important work were :
Hon. L. E. Holden, Hon. S. E. Williamson, Samuel Mather,
Francis J. Wing, W. M. Day, C. W. Chase, Judge F. E. Dellen-
baugh, J. B. Perkins, C. F. Brush, Theodor Kundtz, Hon. W. J.
White, W. F. Dietz, M. G. Watterson, S. L. Severance, J. H.
McBride, O. M. Stafford, Myron T. Herrick, Julius Feiss, Dr. W.
H. Humiston, H. A. Garfield, John Meckes, and F. W. Pelton.
This commission after careful deliberation recommended the
procuring of the necessary funds by the issuance of bonds. Bills
were drafted and were introduced in the State Legislature and
passed in April, 1896, authorizing the city to proceed on this
basis. They provided for the issuance of $500,000 bonds for
river and harbor improvements; $1,500,000 for a new water
tunnel; $750,000 for an intercepting sewer system, and $100,000
for a garbage plant, and $250,000 for bridges. The legality of
some of the Acts, was, however, questioned and it became neces-
sary to have the matter brought into the Supreme Court where
it was held until July, 1896, when the validity of the laws was
established.
It is not necessary to go into all the details of the steps
taken during the succeeding months. It is sufficient to say that
the work has been advanced through progressive stages by the
assistance of prominent citizens ; ordinances have been drafted
and passed ; a vast amount of negotiating and conferring with
railroad officials and others has been done, and it is with a feeling
of satisfaction that the Administration is able to report that sub-
stantially all of the improvements authorized under these appro-
priations are now either under actual construction or entirely
completed. The city administration is ready to carry forward
the undertakings still under way to expeditious completion with
proper co-operation on the part of the citizens, together with that
of the Council and the State Legislature.
As was anticipated at the outset it will be necessary to con-
tinue some of the improvements, particularly the intercepting
sewer system, through a number of years in order to complete
them, and as the appropriations made at the last Session were
1065
designed to cover the years 1896 and 1897, it is essential that
steps be taken to provide the funds needed for the years 1898
and 1899.
In addition to appropriations desired for continuing improve-
ments now in progress, I believe that steps should be taken at
once for building a new City Hall, in order that the present
rented quarters may be abandoned.
It is proper that the public should be fully informed of the
manner in which the appropriations formerly made have been
expended and of the results accomplished, in order that well-
advised action may be taken with reference to the future. Hence
this statement has been prepared, and is herewith submitted.
RIVER WIDENING.
Alterations of vast importance to the marine and business
interests of the City of Cleveland have been made during the last
two years in the channel of the Cuyahoga River, and with some
additional attention the entire portion of this valuable waterway
within the city limits will be placed in condition to meet the re-
quirements for many years to come. As a result of the united
effort of the city administration and the River and Lake Front
Commission plans for the improvements have been adopted as
far up as Seneca Street Bridge, and the river has been substan-
tially widened from its mouth to the Center Street Bridge. With
the removal or straightening of various angles and bends beyond
the latter point the entire channel will be made available for the
easy passage of the largest vessels now plying the Great Lakes.
New dock lines have been established for the river within the
city limits, and all new docks must now be constructed according
to lines and plans which are specifically laid down by ordinance
so that hereafter there will be no indiscriminate dock building,
but all docks will be uniform in construction and of certain
depth. The Commission has furthermore adopted plans to take
all center piers out of the river and has strictly adhered to this
policy since said action was decided upon to the great satisfaction
of commercial interests which have long deprecated the existence
of these obstructions to the free use of the channel. If these
improvements had been made in the early eighties, we would not
1066
to-daj' have any such maritime competitors as Ashtabula, Con-
neaut and Lorain, and now that they are practically assured and
in great part completed there should be no hesitancy in applying
the finishing touches. In view of the advanced stages which the
operations in the river and inner harbor have reached, however,
the efforts of the city may be turned more particularly and
aggressively now to the improvement of the Lake Front, and
this is the intention of the Administration for next year.
DETAILED REPORT OF WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
The River and Lake Front Commission has held frequent
sessions from the time of appointment, having primarily divided
the river channel into sections beginning at the river's mouth,
then proceeding upwards and taking up the discussion in a syste-
matic and orderly manner. Through the efforts of those inter-
ested the United States Government was induced to set aside
three and one-fourth millions of dollars for the improvement of
the outer harbor to be used through a period of years while the
State Legislature at its last Session authorized the issuance of
$500,000 bonds for the city's use in improving its portion of the
inner harbor and river. The Commission early decided that it
would be best to provide one large, adequate mouth to the river
than to continue the two smaller outlets, this portion of the
channel being thronged and wholly overtaxed during the rush
of navigation by large ore and lumber vessels, some of which
passed through it on their way to the old river bed docks and
others on their way to the lumber and ore docks farther up the
river and by the many passenger and merchant vessels, and
pleasure boats going in and out on their daily trips, the entire
number of vessels, entering and clearing at the port of Cleveland
each season being about 8,000. In carrying out this project the
Commission was aided by land conveyed to the city by the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Company in connection
with the railway bridge transaction at the old river bed. A great
deal of time was consumed and a large amount of money ex-
pended in the acquiring of other property at the mouth of the
river desired for the government improvements, but all the par-
cels except that owned by the Pennsylvania Company have been
1067
obtained by the city and all the land north of the Pennsylvania
Company's section to the mouth of the river has been transferred
to the government which is now ready to proceed through the
government engineer, Col. Jared A. Smith, as soon as opportunity
will allow to widen the river mouth to twice its present width.
So far as the question of property is concerned it might be stated
that all of the land desired for river widening purposes from the
Valley Railway bridge No. 2 to the old river bed has been
obtained with the exception of three small parcels.
During the summer of 1897 the work of removing old docks
and dredging the channel between the Main street bridge and
the Superior street viaduct was undertaken and completed, mak-
ing the channel 86 feet wider for a distance of 4<x) feet and an
average of 60 feet wider for a distance of 480 feet. This gives
an average width of channel of 276 feet, in comparison with 180
feet in the narrowest place as formerly. This section has been
provided with new and improved docks and is now of sufficient
width to allow several of the largest vessels to pass to and fro at
one time in safety, thus relieving the congested condition in a
portion of the channel which has been under public condemna-
tion for years owing to its narrowness and danger of accident and
constant delay and annoyance in trafl&c. The acquiring of prop-
erty along the line of this improvement was difficult and neces-
sarily called for the expenditure of a large amount of money.
Exlensive improvements in the old river bed are also being
made by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern Railway Company
under an agreement with the city whereby the company is per-
mitted to build a steel bridge and permanently maintain it instead
of building a swing bridge as originally provided in an old ordi-
nance passed by the Council.
These improvements consist of an opening 100 feet wide
into Lake Erie, giving the public a sixty-foot water-way and a
forty-foot street, the latter to be properly docked and maintained
— this being an improvement agitated for perhaps a quarter of a
century by residents of the West Side. Furthermore, the com-
pany is constructing a winding place for vessels 350 feet long
and 150 feet wide with no expense to the city. Altogether these
improvements in the old river bed will be of incalcuable value
in extending the facilities of that overcrowded passageway from
1068
the river channel proper to the large docks to which the most
cumbersome vessels on the lakes ply their course. Added to
the foregoing improvements which on account of their command-
ing importance take precedence, other smaller, but nevertheless
essential alterations have been made. The troublesome bend in
the old river bed about 800 feet west of the Willow street bridge
has been straightened and enlarged. In the upper river new
docks have been built and the river widened between Seneca and
Mahoning streets, making it an average of 142 feet wide instead
of an average of 100 feet. The channel was also projected last
year to a point farther up than ever before enabling vessels to
reach the docks of the various provision companies — an accom-
plishment appreciated by all concerned. The entire channel of
the river from its mouth to the Jefferson street bridge on the
south was dredged a foot deeper and from 30% to 50% wider in
1 897 than ever before, greatly increasing its utility for the pass-
age of vessels.
The work contemplated for next year comprises the com-
pletion of operations at and near the mouth of the river, land for
which is now practically acquired; the widening of the river from
Center street under the viaduct to the completed improvement;
the straightening of ** Collision Bend; " the straightening of the
channel at Jefferson street, and other minor improvements in the
upper channel. With these accomplished no further improve-
ments in the Cuyahoga river will probably be needed for many
years to come.
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE LAKE FRONT.
Every one familiar with maritime affairs in Cleveland knows
of the great demand manifest in recent years for .landing places
on the lake front both east and west of the Cuyahoga river. Ii\
order to meet this demand and at the same time utilize what is
considered the greatest natural advantage possessed by this city,
the River and Lake Front Commission early completed plans for
the elaborate improvement of the eastern portion referred to.
These plans comprised the building of a northern approach ta
the bridge across the railroad tracks at Erie street and the exten-
sion of a double pier out into the lake for a distance of about
106^
1300 feet; the building of a bridge across the railroad tracks at
the foot of Seneca street fully half a mile west of Erie street, and
the construction of a pier also at this point; the connecting of the
ends of these piers by a pile and timber protection Imilt parallel
to the shore line, thus making a vast enclosure to be filled in
with dirt and other refuse material hauled from various parts of
the city in wagons across the bridges and dumped at the water's
edge, — the ultimate design being to some day have land which
will be owned by the city extending from the present shore line
northward to where will stand docks with slips between them
sufficient for large vessels to lie alongside.
The work of building the pier at Erie street has been pushed
until it has reached the distance of 1140 feet. A pile and timber
protection has been built parallel with the shore, 234 feet there-
from, for a distance of 731 feet toward the west. Within the in-
closure made by this piling, the pier and the shore, a large quan-
tity of dirt has been dumped during the last two years and it is
now practically filled. The hope and intention of the city is to
fill in the entire space extending from Seneca to Erie streets to a
line connecting the ends of the piers at such points. The made
land between the f utui e docks and the present shore line will
approximate 643^ acres, and may eventually be made into a
magnificent park. It is the desire to continue the improvements
at this point as rapidly as possible, and to this end special atten-
tion will be given to them during the coming season, when an
eifort will be made to complete the extension of the pile protect-
ion to Seneca street and build two docks for the landing of pleas-
ure boats and other craft. Necessarily the advancement of this
great undertaking will dall for a considerable outlay of money^
but the investment will more than pay the city in the great value
of the land thus acquired for dockage purposes, to say nothing
about the vast acreage which can be utilized for a lake front park.
Another enterprise which we desire to take up during the
coming year is the building of docks at Willson avenue, the center
of a large and important manufacturing district. The natural
facilities at this point for both freight and passenger traffic are
apparent at a glance, and no more popular move could be made
than to supply the already pressing dtmand.
1070
FUNDS NEEDED.
Taking into consideration all of the needs above referred to
and the existing status of affairs for the improvement of the lake
front as well as the completion of those now under way in the
river, based on a recent report of the Chief Engineer, I would
recommend that authority be granted the cit}^ to issue $1,000,000
additional bonds for these purposes, believing that no invest-
ment of any charactor can add so much to the general advance-
ment and commercial development of our city.
INTERCEPTING SEWER SYSTEM.
Marked progress has been made during the last year and a
half in advancing work on the comprehensive intercepting sewer
system recommended for this city by the expert commission in
1895. This system, as all are aware, is to consi.st of a large
trunk sewer, extending along the entire lake front from the
western limits of the city, and a central trunk sewer bisecting the
city and connecting with the lake front intercepter, the outlet for
the system being located east of the city limits and lar removed
from the course of the water supply. A portion of this great con-
duit known as the West End Intercepter was undertaken early
last summer and completed from Alger street to Lake avenue, a
distance of about a mile. This section of the sewer is 7^ feet
in diameter.
It is proposed to complete the construction of the intercept-
ing sewer on the West Side next season by continuing an addi-
tional section east from Alger street to Waverly avenue with a
temporary outlet at Waverly avenue to Lake Erie. We are now
ready to let the contract for the construction of the western
terminus of the intercepter from the intersection of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern Railway and Lake avenue, west on
Lake avenue to the city limits. This intercepter will receive the
output of a large number of lateral main sewers and will afford
relief to the overcrowded and inadequate sewer facilities for the
entire section of the city we^t of Waverly avenue, as well as re-
lieving a considerable section east of said street, in fact all of that
territory west of Pearl street and north of Lorain street, giving
1071
it permanent and adequate sewer privileges. In addition to the
work contemplated on the West Side for the year 1898, the con-
struction of a portion of the intercepting sewer east of the river
will also be undertaken and completed.
Land for the terminal works several miles east of the city
was acquired last winter, and the construction of the terminal
facilities will be effected next season. The building of the inter-
cepter from the city terminal point to Doan street will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, and a lateral main intercepter will be con-
structed in Doan street from St. Clair street south, giving per-
manent relief to the entire eastern and southeastern sections of
the city. Another section of the east intercepter which it is
intended to build next season is that between Muirson and Water
streets. This portion of the business section of the city has long
been in need of relief, nearly all of the down-town sevrers being
wholly inadequate to the demands made upon them. By the
construction of this portion of the intercepter this entire section
will be greatly benefited. By pushing to completion the sec-
tions of the intercepting sewer thus referred to a long stride
toward ultimate realization of the plans now under way will have
been taken, and at the same time relief will be afforded, through
the construction of lateral sewers, to those portions of the city
which are now in greatest need of it.
THE WALWORTH SEWER.
While a portion of the money obtained from the bond issue
authorized two years ago has been expended on the western in-
tercepter, by far the greatest part has been devoted to the build-
ing of the Walworth street intercepter, which is a part of the
great central sewer comprising the intercepting system under
construction. The Walworth street sewer is to be three miles in
length, and for purposes of convenience in building, it has been
divided into four sections, three of these sections are now under
contract and partially completed. The diameter of the sewer
will range from 8 to 16 }4 feet, the sewer being classed among
the greatest in the world. It will last for many generations, and
will take care of the sewage of the larger part of the West and
South Sides, or an area of over 3,000 acres — nearly one-sixth of
the entire city. The foundation and a portion of the side walls
1072
are of concrete, and the remaining parts of the sewer of brick.
It would be interesting to our citizens generally to inspect this
sewer and gain a correct idea of the benefit it will be to this
thickly populated section, ot the city. The commencement of
work on the sewer early in 1897 was made the signal for a grand
demonstration, arranged jointly l5y citizens of the West and South
Sides. The three sections will unquestionably be finished by the
fall df 1898. The cost of the entire improvement was originally
estimated at nearly $900,000, but the bids have been much lower
than expected, and it is now evident that the work will be done
for $700,000. The construction of this sewer will incidentally
prove of great value as a health measure, and a rough and almost
useless gully will at the same time be transformed into a modern
and useful street.
■
FUNDS NEEDED FOR SEWERS.
In order that the work under contemplation for intercepting
sewers may be wisely and satisfactorily advanced during the next
two years, I would advise that authority be given the city by the
State Legislature to issue $1,000,000 additional bonds for this
purpose. This will permanently establish the system proposed
by the expert commission, giving to Cleveland the relief now
demanded, and when completed, will rid the entire Lake Front
of the almost mnumerable small sewers which now infest it.
•
DIVERSION OF GIDDINGS BROOK.
For a long time residents of the eastern portion of the city
have been petitioning for the abandonment of Giddings Brook,
which is a constant menace to the public health in that section
of the municipality. This stream should be diverted without
delay into Doan Brook. Besides greatly improving the health
conditions in that locality, this alteration will afford needed relief
to the Cedar avenue. Woodland avenue, Euclid avenue, Superior
street and St. Clair street sewers, which are now taxed beyond
their capacity, thus giving the citizens through this entire belt
of territory adequate sewer privileges.
I would therefore recommend that a bond issue of $50,000.
be allowed the city by the Legislature for this important work,
1073
SO that it may be undertaken and completed during the coming
season.
THE EXTENSION OF WATER WORKS.
Authority was granted by the last Legislature to the city to
build a new water tunnel. This was in accordance with the
recommendation of the expert sanitary commission for providing
increased facilities, as well as a purer supply and insurance
against water famine to the city. A site of seven acres of land
for a new pumping station was obtained at the foot of Coe street
and bids were received for the tunnel to extend five miles
into the lake from this point. Work was commenced on the
tunnel on October loth, 1896, when a shaft over 100 feet deep
was sunk near the water's edge, and the tunneling out of an aque-
duct nine feet in diameter under the lake was begun. About a
mile of the tunnel is now constructed. It is estimated by the
contractor that a year and a half or two years at the farthest will
be required for the completion of the undertaking. Two tempo-
rary cribs have been constructed and lodged in the lake on the
line of the tunnel in order to facilitate its progress, and a modern
steel inlet crib is nearing completion for use when the tunnel is
finished. A portion of the expense of this improvement is
being supplied from earnings of the Water Works Department.
It will not be necessary to ask for any additional legislation in
the interest of the improvement.
The building of this tunnel is of great importance to the
health of our citizens, and they would be well repaid for a visit
of inspection to it, the experience of traveling far out under
the lake, at the same time being novel and interesting.
BRIDGES.
Few cities in the United States are compelled to expend as
much money annually for bridges and their maintenance as is
the City of Cleveland. Owing to the fact that the city is divided
by the Cuyahoga river, and that its surface is otherwise broken
by smaller streams and consequent hills and valleys, the outlay
in this respect is large.
1074
At the last session of the Legislature authority was granted
the city to issue bonds to the amount of $250,000 for bridges.
The most important structure built under this appropriation was
the Willow street bridge, crossing the old river bed, a short
distance from its opening into the Cuyahoga river, and connect-
ing what is known as Whisky Island with the main land.
The new bridge replaced a temporary wooden structure built in
1889 and intended for a few years use. The old bridge rested
on a center pier near the middle of the channel, and its under-
side was only 6^ feet above the surface of the water. The new
bridge rests on a pier located on the north side of the channel,
leaving a clear opening of 138 feet for the passage of vessels.
It has a swing span of 295 feet and is operated by two thirty-
five horse power motors. Its cost was $67,000, with $26,100
added for the purchase of land.
Through this legislative appropriation the city was also
enabled to enter into an arrangement for the construction of a
viaduct over the Nickle Plate tracks at Willson avenue. This
viaduct, which is to be a steel and iron structure of modem
design, is now under construction. It is to be 1,100 feet long,
extending from Francis to Julia street, and spanning a valley
formerly traversed by thousands of pedestrians and teams each
day. The Nickle Plate Railroad Company was induced to con-
struct the greater portion of this bridge, at a cost of $90,000. The
Cleveland Electric Railroad Company also contributed $10,000
towards the project, this company desiring to cross the bridge
with its tracks.
Under the same legislative appropriation the Seneca street
wooden bridge giving access to the Lake Front was built at a
cost of $7,800. The proposed new Center street bridge, which
is to replace the present structure of twenty-five years' standing,
obviating the center pier, has also called for an expenditure thus
far of $17,000 for land.
FUNDS NEEDED FOR BRIDGES.
According to a statement made by Chief Engineer Rawson
the city will need $250,000 to properly care for the construction,
re-construction and maintenance of bridges for the next two
1075
years. This will provide for the Willett street viaduct, the
Martin-Praha street bridge, the Main street bridge, the Center
street bridge, the Warner Road arch and culvert, and the recon-
struction and repair of other bridges. I would therefore recom-
mend that authority be obtained to issue the amount of bonds
named in Mr. Rawson's report.
GARBAGE DISPOSAL.
A great deal of attention has been given in recent years to the
provision of a sanitary means of disposing of the garbage and
refuse of Cleveland. The consideration of this problem has been
in the hands of a commission of citizens, consisting of Mr. J.G.W.
Cowles, Mr. Samuel Mather, Dr. W. H. Humiston, Mr. Kauf-
man Hays, Mr. Henry W. S. Wood, and Councilmen Palmer,
Thompson, Steuer and McKenney. A tour of investigation was
made early in 1897 by a special committee, which presented an
exhaustive report on the results of its observations. Bonds were
issued under authority granted by the last Legislature to the
amount of $100,000 and bids were three times received. On the
first and second occasions all bids were rejected, but on the third
it was decided' that the bid of The Buckeye Refuse Destruction
Company was as near satisfactory as could be obtained, and this
company will undertake to carry out a five year contract with
the city. Although the matter was handled very carefully, some
members of the commission, namely Mr. Cowles and the Mayor,
were not entirely satisfied to permit the letting under the last
bid, but it will doubtless work out all right, as the city has the
option of owning the plant at the expiration of the contract in
1902.
A CONDUIT SYSTEM.
The recognized wisdom of establishing a comprehensive and
complete underground conduit system for police, fire, alarm,
telegraph and telephone wires leads me to advise that steps be
taken at once for the construction of such system by the city, to
be owned by it and space therein to be leased at fixed rentals to
the Companies desiring to share its use. It is necessary that this
matter should receive attention without delay if it is to be properly
1076
handled. Practically all the wires in the down town district are
now underground, and as the city grows and expands the need
of an adequate conduit system becomes more and more apparent.
In addition, I believe the city can and should receive a return
from this class of corporations for use of the streets, as from the
surface railroads.
I would therefore recommend that legislation be obtained at
Columbus properly covering this subject, enabling the city to
equitably obtain exclusive control of its streets and establish a

NEW CITY HALL.
The pressing demand for better and more adequate quarters
than are now provided lor the municipal offices is apparent to all.
If there is one thing above another which the general public de-
sires in Cleveland, I believe it is the erection of a new City Hall.
Two years ago the people decided by vote to locate a building on
the north-east section of the Public Square, but the matter was
almost immediately taken into Court by injunction suits, and
finally the repeal of all legislation on the subject was obtained by
the opponents of this site. Since that time negotiations have been
in progress for the securing of another suitable location, and there
is reai^on to bejieve that such site will be obtained within the near
future. It is therefore recommended that action be taken during
the present session of the Legislature, giving the city authority
to issue bonds for the proposed building. Already the arrange-
ments are made under existing contracts by which these bonds
may be cared for by applying the receipts from the Gas Compa-
nies of the city to this purpose. The amount of money from this
source in the hands of the Sinking Fund Commission to the
credit of the City Hall Fund is now $230,569.50. Assuming
that the receipts will increase $1,000 annuallj', (which is very
considerably less than has been the case to date) this fund will
amount to in
1902 $ 627,000.00
1907 $ 877,00000
i9'2 $1,352,000.00
1917 $1,753,000.00
1922.* $2,177,000.00
1927 $2,627,000.00
107*
Thus thirty year bonds issued in 1898 to the amount of
$2,500,000 could be taken care of so far as principal is concerned,
without adding any tax to the present levy. However, I think
it is perfectly safe to say that this fund will take care of thirty-
year bonds, both principal and interest, to the amount of $1,500,-
000 without additional tax to the people. I would therefore
recommend that authority be granted by the Legislature to issue
the latter amount, which may be sufficient for this purpose, and
that the present site be selected and that a suitable structure be
erected thereon.
For reasons stated above the entire principal and interest
being provided for outside of the tax levy, I would recommend
such legislation as will provide for the exclusion of these bonds
from the net city debt as provided in Section 2701 of the Revised
Statutes.
RECAPITULATION.
In order to properly separate the amounts of desired issues
referred to in this statement, and formulate definite recommenda-
tions, I would consider the following a safe estimate upon which
to base legislative action :
For River and Harbor Improvements .$1,000,000
For Bridges 250,000
For Intercepting Sewers 1,000,000
For Diverting Giddings Brook 50,000
Total $2,300,000
F'or New City Hall, as provided above $1,500,000
Crrv DEBT AND TAX RATE.
When the movement for needed public improvements in this
city was started in 1-895, ^ cry of opposition went up in certain
quarters that the tax rate would be greatly increased through the
proposed undertakings. At that time it was declared by the city
administration that such results were not likely to follow, and
the facts now apparent in this direction clearly prove the accuracy
of such statement. The tax rate for municipal purposes re-
1078
mained the same in 1896 and 1897 as for the preceding two years,
namely $13.70 on each $1,000 of valuation. I am glad to an-
nounce the levy for municipal purposes has been cut down even
less than this for 1898, being $13.60, or lower than it has been
since 1886 with one exception. There is, therefore, no cause for
alarm in this connection, at least for the present. It must be
remembered that the tax rate of a city may be nominally high
and yet not excessive upon the real value of property. A 3 per
cent, rate where property is valued at thirty-three cents of its
actual value amounts to the same thing as a i per cent, rate
where valuation closely approximates the actual value of property.
Taking the reports made by the city authorities of the per-
centage which the tax valuation bears to real value in the fol-
lowing cities, the latest statistics available give very interesting
results, which I have tabulated as follows :
CITY. Nominal Tax Rate. Actual Tax Rate
Cleveland ' 2.93 1.02
Cincinnati *. . . . 2. 64 1.56
Pittsburgh 1.30 * 1.30
Detroit 1.76 1.32
Baltimore 2.00 1.60
Boston 1.30 1.30
Buffalo 1.41 i-03^
Brooklyn : 2.83 2.83
Louisville 1.85 1.48
Milwaukee 2.31 i-i5/^
New Orlt ans 2.00 1.42
New York 2.10 1.28
Philadelphia 1.85 ^-S^H
St. Paul 2.14 1.39
It will be seen from the above that the actual tax rate
of Cleveland is far below the average of other large cities, being,
in fact, more favorable than any other city of its size or relative
importance.
The finances of Cleveland are in excellent condition and it is
desired that they shall be kept so. According to figures pre-
pared in the offices of the Director of Account, the net city debt
on January ist, 1898, was $6,991,732.43. The following estimates
show what the margins would be between the city debt and the
present debt limit at the close of 1898, 1899 and 1900 respectively:

By a con.«Jervative and judicious management of the funds
of the city, the margins shown above will surely be sufficient to
allow of the issuing of bonds from time to time in sufficient
amounts to provide for the continuance of the work now under
way, which is all that is contemplated, and which was originally
mapped out with this end in view by the Citizens' Commission.
The relative position of the city of Cleveland so far as
bonded indebtedness and tax rate is concerned with other large
cities of the country, also argues well for our own municipality
and seems to me to clearly justify the expenditure necessary to
provide the city with a complete sewerage system, with better
harbor facilities, with safe and modern bridges, with a purer
water supply and with a new. municipal building. While it is
folly to presume that these improvements can be made without
any increase of the bonded indebtedness of the city, it is, never-
theless, essential that there shall be no unwarranted extrava-
gance in the public funds, nor on the other hand should the city
be forced to occupy an inferior position for a lack of enterprise
and public spiritedness on the part of its citizens. When we
analyze the condition of other large cities and compare their
indebtedness with* that of Cleveland, we are easily convinced
1081
that these other cities have assumed burdens which as yet we
have never known and probably never will.
In deciding the question of what is best in Cleveland, we
must be guided in a part by what other cities have done. If
Cleveland is in a better position relatively than cities of the same
class, so far as taxation and indebtedness go, then she can safely
compete with them in attracting capital even if her indebtedness
and tax rate should be somewhat increased. The following fig-
ures are the result of inquiries made within the last month from
the Mayors or City Auditors of the cities named, and are there-
fore considered reliable. With one or two exceptions, no Amer-
ican city of 200,000 population or over has as small a debt as
Cleveland. The average valuation of personal and real property
in Cleveland is about 35 per cent, of its actual value, and the tax
rate for all purposes, 2.93 per cent. Were property assessed for
taxation at its real value in the city, as is contemplated by the
State constitution, it would exceed $400,000,000.
The same limit exists upon Pittsburgh's indebtedness as upon
Cleveland's. It must.be kept within 7 per cent, of the valuation.
At the present time it is 4.6 per cent, of the valuation, while
Cleveland's to-day is 5 per cent. Were the valuation of property
for taxation in Cleveland its actual value, or coo per cent., as is
the case in Pittsburgh, we could carry a debt of over $27,000,000
and still be within the 7 per cent, limit.
In other words, our present debt would be 1.8 per cent, of
the real value instead of 5 per cent. Relative to the actual
value of property in the two cities, Pittsburgh's indebtedness is
a little over 2>^ times that of Cleveland.
What is true of Pittsburgh applies to every other great city
in America. Cleveland's debt is smaller relatively than that of
any other American city of the same size or larger. Balthnore
has an indebtedness of nearly $16,000,000 or 4.01 percent, of
the tax valuation. Her city officials report that the tax valua-
tion of property is 80 per cent, of the real value; this being true,
the indebtedness of Baltimore is 3.2 per cent, upon the real
valuation of her property, or nearly double that of Cleveland.
The valuation of property for taxation in the city of Boston
is $1,012,557,256. Her officials report that this is 100 per cent,
of the real value. In other words, property is assessed at ap-
1082
m
proximately its actual value for taxation. Her indebtedness is
$50,340,115.37 or 4.97 per cent, of the valuation. In other
words, in proportion to the valuation of property, it is almost
three times as great as the indebtedness of Cleveland. Cleveland
could carry $17,000,000 of indebtedness and still have no
greater debt in proportion than Boston.
The valuation of property for taxation in Ciniinnati is
$198,536,580. Her indebtedness is $25,951,348.65, or more
than 13 per cent. A large part of this, however, is provided for
by bonds of the Cincinnati Southern Railway Company, and
the money was expended for the construction of that road. The
tax valuation is reported by her city oflScials to be 59 per cent,
of the actual value. On the same basis as Cincinnati, Cleveland
could carry $25,000,000 of indebtedness, or four times as much
as at present.
Brooklyn, N, K, has an indebtedness of nearly $57,000,000
upon a tax valuation of $603,796,463, or 9.43 per cent, of the
tax valuation. Propert)- is valued at 100 per cent, of its actual
value, so that the indebtedness of the city amounts to 9.43 per
cent, of the real value of the property in the city. This is an
indebtedness in proportion to actual property valuation, ^%
times as great as that of Cleveland. In other words, Cleveland
on the basis of Brooklyn's debt, could carry $38,000,000 of
indebtedness.
The city of Philadelphia has $35,479,579 93 of indebtedness,
and the taxable valuation of property is $840,000,000. The .
debt is 4.2 per cent, on the duplicate and the taxable valuation
of property is about 75 per cent, of its actual value. In other
words, the indebtedness of Philadelphia is 3.15 per cent, upon
the real value of the property or 44 per cent, greater than Cleve-
land. Cleveland could carry nearly $10,000,000 of indebtedness
and still be no more heavily burdened, proportionately than is
the City of Brotherly Love.
The city of Neiv York, the national metropolis, has an in-
debtedness of nearly $130,000,000. The debt is 5.9 per cent, of
the tax duplicate. The duplicate is estimated to represent about
60 per cent, of the actual value of property. In other words the
indebtedness is 3.6 per cent, of the real value of property, or
twice as great as that of Cleveland. The City of Cleveland could
1(83
incur an indebtedness of $12,000,000 and still be no more heavily
burdened in proportion than is the City of New York.
On the basis of New Orleayis' indebtedness, Cleveland could
incur a debt of $28,ooc»,ooo, and on the basis of St. Paul's indebt-
edness $17,000,000.
The following table gives in detail comparisons between
fourteen of the leading cities of the United States in a form con-
venient for ready reference, and its perusal cannot fail to con-
vince the reader that Cleveland is in a better position in pushing
great public improvements than possibly any of the cities men-
tioned. The only city with which Cleveland does not compare
favorably in the amount of indebtedness is Detroit, and had the
City of the Straits been compelled to build bridges as Cleveland
has, her debt would exceed ours. Her small debt is not due to
better financial management, but to the fact that fewer and less
costly public improvements have been made :

CONCLUSION.
In advocating the expenditures referred to in the foregoing
statement, my desire is to simply provide for the demands of our
rapidly growing city, which demands have been seriously
neglected to the city*s detriment, I believe, in the past. There
is nothing in the way of improvement that can make this city
better than the people are not entitled to and do not want. The
1084
Cleveland public is. not niggardly nor paisimonious, but realizes,
I am convinced, that a metropolitan city cannot be confined in
village lines. A city is like an individual, — it must either go
forward or backward. Growth is an element of progress;
stagnation is an element of death.
The Cleveland of today, so far as extent and population is
concerned, is a far different city from the Cleveland of fifteen or
twenty years ago; nevertheless, little has been done to meet the
requirements of its added greatness. While this city in the last
thirty years has outclassed and surpassed in industrial standing
the cities of Washington, Detroit, San Francisco, New Orleans,
Buffalo, Louisville, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, the time has come
when attention must be given to needed improvements, if our
proud station is to be maintained. The freight in this port is
nearly 6,000,000 tons each year. At the present time, more than
5,000,000 tons are loaded and unloaded up the river. From that
I draw the conclusion that the river is of the greatest importance,
and we are doing everything to improve it. The fulfillment of
plans in this connection is only blocked by the attitude of the
Pennsylvania Company, in claiming the ownership of a piece of
land which is directly in the way of our improvements. The
company refused to arbitrate or do anything else. There is but
one course open, and that is for the government to take the bull
by the horns and compel the Pennsylvania Company to give up
the land. The lake tonnage in Cleveland represents more than
$20,000,000, surpassing every American city except New York.
The distributing equipment in the iron ore industry represents
an actual investment of over $80,000,000, this being naturally
the greatest ore port in the world. Cleveland is the largest ship
builder, save Liverpool. Her manufacturing establishments are
unequalled and unexcelled in diversity and capacity. She is the
economic center for the manufacture of iron and steel and other
products. For the years 1894, 1895 and 1896 over $15,000,000
was expended for buildings within the municipality.
The recital of such facts as the foregoing emphasizes the
point that the contemplated expenditures for public improve-
ments are small when compared with the vast interests which
are benefited. For the expenditures already made, are not the
results apparent ? Our river and lake front improvements are
1085
rapidly bringing our inner and outer harbor to the forefront
among maritime cities. Our intercepting sewer system will give
the city the best of drainage and sanitation. The new water
tunnel will afford the best water supply of any American city.
Our garbage disposal system will be modelled after the best mod-
ern methods. Our bridges and viaducts are far-famed, and
should be kept so. Then our park system — this, too, as now
contemplated and being constructed will give to our citizens and
visiting guests the finest pleasure resorts of any American city.
In addition to all these there should be no hesitancy in advanc-
ing every needed enterprise which will tend to upbuild and bene-
fit this great municipality.
Speaking from a financial and business standpoint the credit
of Cleveland is of the highest. Her bonds find a market as ready
as those of any other city in America, in fact, a market far above
that of most cities. The bonds issued in 1896 were sold on a
3^ basis — that is, the premiums paid reduced the required
interest from the city to this amount, while in 1897 the average
sales were on a 3)^ basis; the latest sales to be made even reach-
ing a 3^ basis.
If in the approaching season of activity the era of progress
upon which the city has entered shall be still further advanced,
if all the citizens co-operate in the advancement of the common
good of the municipality and join in those undertakings which
will be of mutual benefit to all, the City of Cleveland will reach
a position yet higher among the first cities of the land and will
be in a good condition for the opening of the new century.

Mayor of Cleveland.
STATEMENT.
The matters contained in the foregoing address were fully
considered at meetings of sub-committees to which they were
referred . Reports were drafted and were presented to the General
Citizens* Committee, at a meeting held on February 14, 1898, in
the Mayor's Office. There were present at this meeting the
following citizens :
J. W. Conger, W. M . Day, C. J, Manix, Col. A. T. Van-
Tassel, E. M. Folsom, T. W. Hill, A. G. Carpenter, H. W. S.

committees as well as their recommendations, the General Com-
mittee unanimously approved and adopted the^reports which are
found in full on the following pages.
REPORT
-OF —
CITIZENS' COIVIMITTEE ON RIVER AND LAKE
FRONT IMPROVEMENTS.
Presented to General Citizens' Committee on Public Improve-
ments and Unanimously Approved and Adopted
February 14, 1898.
To THE Citizens* Committee on Public Improvements:
GENTLEMEN :
The undersigned members of your sub-committee
appointed by the Mayor to consider the question of River and
Lake Front Improvements; to examine more especially the
manner in which the funds formerly obtained have been ex-
pended ; and to submit recommendations relative to proposed
additional expenditures for carrying on work now under way,
beg leave to report as follows :
While some of the members of your committee were already
familiar with the status of the improvements, having served on
the advisory commission which co-operated with the city adminis-
tration in planning and executing them, and other members were
well informed as to their progress, yet a careful and systematic
review of the situation has been made and such conclusions as
have been reached are based thereon. The work of the com-
mittee has been expedited and simplified by access to detailed
reports submitted by Deputy Auditor; Crosby and City Engineer
Rawson, the former dealing with the financial aspect of the
question in hand and the' latter with plans and maps showing
what has been accomplished and what yet remains to be done.
Prom our study and observation of the improvements in the
channel of the Cuyahoga river, we are convinced that the money
expended in this connection has been wisely and economically
1089
administered by the city officers and the River and Lake
Front Commission. Two years ago practically no improve-
ments oi a permanent character had been made, the narrowness
of the river being a subject of general condemnation by
marine .and shipping interests of our city. By applying
a portion of the funds secured through authority of the last
Legislature, to widening and straightening this stream, a passage-
way for vessels hitherto unrealized has been made The results
accomplished were clearly and concisely set forth in the Mayor's
Address to the Citizens* Committee on January 28, which results,
your sub-committee is convinced, are abundant proof that none
of the money has been used ill-advisedly. We believe that if the
plans now adopted are carried out, this important highway tor
inter-urban commerce will be placed in excellent condition to .
meet the demands to be made upon it by the rapidly increasing
traffic to and from this city, for many years to come.
As for the money expended on improvements at the foot of
Erie street, on the Lake Front, we are satisfied that it must be
regarded as an investment which will bring the dty great return
in after years, the creation of landing places for vessels at this
point being an enterprise to be generally commended from a
business and financial standpoint. The older Clevelaqd is
gradually but rapidly developing into a great metropolis, and the
energies of municipal administrations may, in our judgment,
well be turned to the extending of its capabilities and the en-
hancing of its attractions to commerce. We heartily approve the
operations now in progress on the Lake Front and coincide with
the Mayor in his recommendation that these improvements should
receive special consideration from this time forth When finally
completed the Lake Front improvement now under way will
give to the city, according to Engineer Rawson's estimate, sixty
five acres of land admirably located for park or exposition pur-
poses, or any other use to which the city may decide to put it,
this land being worth many millions of dollars.
Your sub-committee, as the result of its deliberations, would
therefore report briefly its conclusions and recommendations for
your consideration as follows :
•
First. That we approve the plans adopted by the Citizens'
River and Lake Front Commission, as constituted heretofore,
or the improvement of the Cuyahoga river and the Lake Front,
believing these plans to have been wisely and properly laid.
1090
Second. That we approve the expenditures made ucder
the former legislative appropriation, and account the results
accomplished fully commensurate with the outlay of funds.
Third. That we concur in the recommendation of the
Mayor for continuing the improvements now under way unto as
speedy completion* as'possible, realizing their importance to the
commercial interests of our city.
Fourth. That in order to provide funds neceesary to carry
forward this work, we recommend to the Cuyahoga delegation
in the General Assembly that they use their best eflforts to obtain
for the city authority to issue $1,000,000 additional bonds.
Fifth. That in pursuance of the foregoing recommenda-
tions a bill similar to that passed at the last previous session of
the General Assembly be drafted and introduced at as early a
date as may be deemed advisable.
By way of conclusion your sub-committee desires to say that
in its opinion the prosecution of the improvements referred to in
this report will redound to our city's continued prosperity and
militate toward its still greater growth and development. Plans
are now under way for extensive improvements by* the general
government in the outer harbor, the sum of $300,000 having
been recommended for this work, in 1898, and it will be well for
the federal and municipal enterprises to go hand in hand for the
betterment of existing condition-. During the past year the lake
traffic was by far the largest in the history of the trade. The
present tonnage of the Great Lakes ( i. e. the carrying capacity
of vessels) is 1,410,000 or nearly one-third of the entire
American merchant marine. The total tonnage handled at the
port of Cleveland during 1896 was 5,332,656 tons,v while the total
tonnage for 1897 was 6,116,878 tons. The total value of jfreight,
coastwise and foreign, handled at this port was $650,084,589.
When the immense interests at stake are considered, the appro-
priation recommended by your committee is*small,^we think, in
comparison with the great advantages to be gained by making
the improvements.
Your sub committee, however, realizing the importance of
the work on the Lake Front and the river bed below the Center
street bridge, recommend that the improvement of the river above
the Center street bridge be confined to such improvements as
may be actually necessary, and that the treatment of the river

REPORT
OF —
CITIZENS' COMMITTEE ON INTERCEPTING
SEWERS, AND THE DIVERSION OF
GIDDINGS BROOK.
Presented to General Citizens' Committee on Public Improve-
ments, and Unanimously Approved and Adopted
February 14, 1898.
To THE Citizens' Committee on Fubi^ic Improvements :
GENTLEMEN :
Your sub-committee appointed to examine into the
advisability of obtaining authority from the General Assembly to
issue $1,000,000 additional bonds to provide for the continuance
of work on the intercepting sewer system now under way in this
city, beg leave to report as follows :
Believing this matter to be of vital importance to the welfare
of the citizens, and the future growth and development of our city,
the members of your committee have applied themselves to a very
careful study of the plans which have been adopted lor the relief
of the present inadequate sewerage system, and to a review of the
work already accomplished in order to arrive at conclusions upon
which to base this report. At the first meeting of the com-
mittee a detailed statement was presented showing the amounts
expended to date in sewer improvements, and outlining various
amounts desired for the next two years, and for what purposes.
The plans of the city engineers were fully explained with the aid
of maps exhibited by Assistant Engineer Force, and the different
features of the enterprises were thoroughly discussed at this and
subsequent meetings. In our deliberations we have striven to
eliminate all sectional prejudices, and rather to consider what is
1093
best for the interests of the entire city and its inhabitants It
has been our purpose not so much to deal with preliminaries
these have been already ably cared for by our predecessors on
former commissions, as to pass judgment upon the con-
duct of the improvements up to date, and to express our
opinions touching the wisdom of advancing them along the lines
now established. In other words, our duties were regarded by
us as judiciary in so far as past actions were concerned, and as
advisory with reference to the future.
In harmony with the first Citizens' Commission, appointed
by the Mayor to consider public improvements, and with the
expert sanitary commission selected in connection therewith, we
fully endorse and approve the project for building a main inter-
cepting sewer along the lake front, as now in progress, believing
such sewer to be necessary for taking up the output of the many
small sewers now running directly tp the lake, befouling the
entire water frontage, polluting the water supply of the city, and
menacing public health. We consider the funds thus far
expended on this improvement to have been well directed, and
concur with the city administration in starting and pushing the
West End interceptor before commencing portions elsewhere,
this being in keeping with the contract entered into by the city
when the village of West Cleveland was annexed. We agree
with the city engineers in their proposal to undertake the exten.
sion of this section of the interceptor, this season, east from
Algier street to Waverly avenue, and to build the Lake avenue
section from the intersection of the L. S. & M. S Railway to
Lake avenue, west on Lake avenue to the city limits, thus laying
the foundation for adequate sewer facilities for the rapidly grow-
ing district west of Pearl street and north of Lorain street. We
are satisfied that work should also be undertaken upon the
terminal facilities east of the city, and upon the eastern portion
of this great sewer, and consider the proposed section from the
city terminal point to Doan street, with a lateral main sewer in
Doan street, from St. Clair street south, and another section
between Murison street and Water street as of first importance.
As to the wisdom of building the Walworth sewer there has
never been any doubt, the public having long demanded it as a
relief and sanitary measure. While the cost of this sewer was
estimated at $800,000 it is now apparent from bids received that
it will call for a little more than •700,000. It is the opinion of
your committee that this sewer, when completed, will be regarded
1094
as a good investment not only for the vast extent of territory
directly benefitted, but for the city at large. We find this im-
provement in a healthy state of progress, and believe that it is
being well and satisfactorily managed.
A matter to which your committee has also directed its
attention is the proposed diversion of Giddings Brook into Doan
Brook. After examining this question from various standpoints
we have concluded that this alteration is necessary as a health
measure, and in order that relief may be afforded to the Cedar
avenue. Woodland avenue. Euclid avenue, Superior street, and
St. Clair street sewers, which are now taxed beyond their
capacity.
Without burdening this report with detailed recitals of facts
heretofore covered by previous committees, we would summarize
our recommendations briefly as follows :
1. We approve the plans formerly adopted by the Citizens*
Commission and the Council for the construction of the inter-
cepting sewer system, believing that notwithstanding its con-
siderable cost, the city will be fully compensated by the increased
facilities afforded and the sanitary benefits to be derived, and that
the wisdom of the authors will become more and more apparent
as time goes on. We also approve the construction of the Wal-
worth sewer according to the plans which are now being
followed.
2. We believe, from our examinations, that the money
obtained from bond issues to date in behalf of these improve-
ments has been economically expended, and that the results are
such as to meet the expectations of the tax-payers and general
public.
3. We agree with the city administration in the proposed
advancement of these improvements during the coniing season,
and assert our belief that the work laid out for 1898-99 is well
chosen.
4. Knowing that great improvements of this character
cannot be made without funds, and believing it to have been the
intention of the original commission that authority to issue
additional bonds should be asked as the progress of work might
demand, we would recommend in accordance with estimates pre-
sented, that authority to issue $1,000,000 additional bonds for
sewer improvements be obtained from the State I^egislature and
that a bill similar to the one presented two years ago be intro-
duced and passed.
1095
6. In order to provide for the diversion of Giddings Brook
we would further recommend that a bond issue of $60,000 be
allowed the city for this purpose, and that this important work
may be undertaken and completed during the coming season.
While to some persons the issuance of bonds in accordance
with these recommendations may seem somewhat extravagant,
yet it must be remembered that other cities are making rapid
strides and that Cleveland must not retain its village lines. The
time has arrived for considering these questions on the proper
plane of civic needs and civic patriotism. Although much has
been done during the past two years in the way of public im-
provements much yet remains to be done, and all citizens, we
believe, should work to a common end neither allowing personal
interests nor personal animosities to interfere. What it is desired
to do is to make Cleveland a better city in which to live. In this
eflFort the various improvements now under way are interlinked
and interdependent. If we would have a clean harbor we must
have an intercepting sewer ; and if we would have a pure water
supply we must have a clean harbor. When all of the improve-
ments now under way are completed we are sure that there will
be cause for congratulation on the part of all citizens, and that
whatever burden there may be it would not be comparable with
the advantages gained.

A NEW CITY HALL
The Citizens of Cleveland Demand it as Shown in the
Following Report by a Representative
Committee.
CITY HALL COMMISSION.
A meeting of a comtnission of citizeus appointed to consider
the question of building a new City Hall was held in the
Mayor's office Tuesday aft^ernoon, February 22d, in response to
the following letter :
** The question of building a new City Hall commensurate
with the needs of this municipality has been under discussion for
a number of years At a meeting of citizens held in the Mayor's
office recently a plan by which such building may be realized
was outlined, and action was taken looking to the further con-
sideration of the matter by a special committee. I have selected
you to serve upon this special committee, and hope that you will
be able to accept It has been suggested that Tuesday afternoon,
February 22d, at 2 o'clock, will be a good time for the organiza-
tion of the committee, and I therefore issue this call for that
hour.
•* I trust that you will make a special effi)rt to be present at
this conference, which will take place in the Mayor's office, and
give us the benefit of your counsel and advice.
"ROBERT E. McKISSON/'
The following persons were present :
Julius Feiss, Wilson M. Day, V. C Taylor, Jacob B. Perkins,
Major W. J. Gleason, A. H. Weed, Esq.. J. W. Conger, Henry
W. S. Wood.
Two members were absent : T. W. Hill and James G.
Fletcher.
The subject before the meeting was informally discussed for
upwards of an hoitr by the various gentlemen, the unanimous
opinion being that the city was in need of a new and adequate
municipal building This feeling was voiced in the following
resolution which was adopted :
Whbrbas, There seems to be a general sentiment that the
city of Cleveland should own its own municipal building, there-
fore be it
109:
Rqsoi^vbd, That a sab-committee of five be appointed to
make such investigations as they may deem advisable relative to
the needs of the city in this direction and to suggest ways and
means for meeting the same, this sub-committee to report to the
general committee on City Hall at a meeting to be called by the
Chairman.
After the Session the Mayor appointed as members of the
sub-committee Messrs. Conger, Taylor, Perkins, Day and Peiss.
These gentlemen fully considered the questions before them and
presented the following report which was unanimously adopted
by the general committee on February 28. 1898:
REPORT OF COIVIMITTEE ON CITY HALL
Fkbruary 28, 1898.
To THE Committee on City Hall.
GENTLEMEN :
Your sub-committee, to which was referred the resolution
adopted one week ago calling for an investigation of the needs
for a new municipal building and suggestions as to ways and
means for obtaibing the same, beg leave to report as follows :
First, The present rented quarters are utterly inadequate
to meet the needs of today, — our city having outgrown in this
respect, as it has in all others, the conditions of twenty-four
years ago at which time the present building was constructed
and Cleveland was a city of less than 100.000 inhabitants.
Sefiond, The unprotected condition of the public records
in the various city departments demands that immediate steps be
taken to secure them against loss by fire or other causes, as no
one can estimate from a monetary standpoint the enormous loss
to the city should the^^e records be destroyed, a danger which is
constant under present conditions, and which, far more than
any other reason, induces us not only to request, but emphati-
cally urge, as an ordinary business precaution, that im-
mediate steps be taken to render them secure The only feasible
and permanent remedy in our judgment is the erection of a
municipal bui.ding which shall be fire proof and amply provided
with safety vaults.
Third* The city has paid out for rents, taxes and repairs
from 1874 to the present time over $1,050,000. 00 The question
1098
as to the amount of money which would have to be annually
expended in the future cannot be accurately computed, but we
are confident that it would be largely in excess of that expended
in past years. We believe, however, that the main question
which confronts us and which in our judgment should far out-
weigh financial considerations is the adequate and absolute pro-
tection of public records and documents against loss or destruction.
After a carefnl personal inspection of the quarters of the
various city departments, we have no hesitancy in saying that
they are not only undesirable, but a disgrace to a city like
Cleveland, emerging as it is from a rural into a metropolitan
career.
In regard to the ways and means for procuring a City Hall,
we are satisfied that the receipts from the gas companies, pro-
vided equally as good a contract as the existing one can be made
with them at the time the present contract expires in 1902, will
be amply sufficient to pay interest and principal on a bonded
indebtedness of a million and a half dollars and leave a surplus in
the fund, if we should at the present time issue bonds to the
amount of a million and a half dollar'^ drawing 4 per cent, inter-
est, payable in twenty years. (As to the details of which, see
appended statement submitted by the city auditor to your
committee.)
We are satisfied that a personal inspection of the present
city quarters by any citizen will convince him of the necessity
for a new municipal building. After carefully looking into the
cost of new municipal buildings in a number of other leading
cities we are confident that a building and land amply adequate
in every respect can be secured for one and a half million dollars-
We therefore recommend that immediate steps be taken to secure
the erection of a City Hall, the cost of which, including land,
shall not exceed that amount, and that bonds bearing 4 per cent.
interest be issued for this purpose

STATEMENT OF CITY AUDITOR.
February 26, 1898.
Mr. J. W. CoNGER) Chairman.
Dbar Sir : —I herewith hand j^ou a statement, First, of the
condition of the City Hall Sinking Fund at the present time and
the probable accretions to same in the future. The city has
received from the gas companies up to the present time

Earning on same 20,251 12
$301,804 76
Should the city this year issue$l,600,000.00 of four percent,
twenty year bonds, we would in all probability receive on same
a premium of $164 660 00; assuming that they would be sold on
a basis of SH per cent, (the last three sales of city bonds have
been on this basis or better). Adding to this the amount already
in the sinking fund and $30,000.00 estimated receipts from the
gas companies during the balance of the year 1898, and accre-
tion from funds in hands of commissioners, would make an
approximate total value of the sinking fund at the end of 1898
of $602,000.00.
The following tables show you the probable amount which
will be received from the gas companies; the interest earned by
the City Hall Sinking Fund, estimating the interest at 4 per
sent, (whereas in realty it is earning at the present time 6 per
cent.); the amount of interest which would be paid out yearly
on a million and a half of bonds; the net increase in the value
of the City Hall Sinking Fund, and the total value of the same
at the end of each year:

The estimate of the receipts from the gas companies is based
upon the supposition that at the expiration of the present con-
tract in 1902, the city will be able to make a contract with the
companies equally as good as the present one, and that the
receipts will increase each year $2,000 —while in fact the yearly
increase has been in the past nearly $5,000. Prom the above
table it will be seen that twenty years from the present time the
value of the City Hall Sinking Fund will be $1,647,840, after
having taken care of the interest on the bonds issued for City
Hall purposes, or in other words, the amount received for the
gas companies will have been sufficient to have paid the interest
on the bonds issued, pay the bonds at maturity, and leave a sur-
plus of $147,840 in the fund. So that land could be acquired
and a new City Hall built immediately without taxing the people
either directly or indirectly for the payment of interest or princi-
pal of bonded indebtedness, inasmuch as the fund derived from
the gas companies will more than meet all obligations and cannot
be used for other purposes.
Second. Of the amount of money paid out by the city for
the present City Hall, including rent, taxes and repairs. The
noi
figures for the years 1892, 1893, 1894, 1895 and 1896, 1897 and
1874 are correct. Those for the other years are estimates and
cannot be given accurately for the reason that the city records
previous to the year 1892 were kept in such shape that it is im-
possible to give correct figures on these items previous to that
time. The amount, however, paid out for rent has been the
same for the whole period from 1874 to the present, viz :
$36,000 00 per year.

From 1874 to 1892 I estimate there was paid out annually
an average amount of $40,000; in 1874, according to the Ma>or s
annual message for that year, there was paid out for rent,
$30,000 ; and for putting building in suitable condition to be
occupied, $45,061.22. Making a total amount paid out
$1,031,969.59.
We receive for rents at the present time about $7,000 an-
nually, estimating the receipts for rent di|ring the entire period
at $8,000 annually, would make a total receipt for rent, $192,000.
Deducting this from the amount paid out would leave us a net
expenditure of $840,000 for twenty-four years or an average net
annual expenditure of $35,000.

City Auditor.
